Thanks to Keith and Isabella, I now have a decent map of Tiree and have found Balinoe. I have managed to search back as far as the marriage of Lachlan Macmillan and Flora Campbell on Tiree 1780 according to scraps of paper compiled by the minister My mother-in- law told me in the early 1960's, a story of how his gr gr gr grandfather had married twice and every Sunday walked to the church on one side of the Island of Tiree with his wife and many children, then walked to the other end of the Island to worship in a different church with the other children. I have always had this picture in my mind. I, from this story thought that Lachlan had married the second time Catharine Cameron. Also is Lachlan sometimes called John? Keith I also have a long line of MacDonald's and Campbell's Sheen
