Can somebody set me straight, please? Is Lagavullin within Dunnyveg farm? In the 1686 tenant list (The Book of Islay), there an Upper and Nether Dunivig, and also the Miln of Dunuvig. There are also 2 cottages near Lagavulin. In 1722, it mentions Dunniveige and the Mylne of Dunniveig,, and the Court house of Laggavulline. In 1733, again Upper and Nether Dunuvig, plus Miln, plus 2 cottages near Lagavulin. However, on the map between pg. 552 and 553, it looks like the farm is Lagavullin, and there's only a drawing of a castle, with the name "Dunn..." at the most southerly side (facing the North Channel.) Anyone know? Toni _________________________________________________________________ 30 days of prizes: Hotmail makes your day easier! Enter Now. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9729710
Hi Toni, Going to stick my neck out.. As far as I can understand it looks as though the land mass of Dunyvaig and Lagavulin were one in the same, ie, Lagavulin taking over from Dunyvaig. I have the rentals of Dunyvaig running from 1614 through to 1741 and then Lagavulin rental running from 1733 through to 1914. The early period was obviously under the shadow of the Castle of Dunyvaig and it protectorate lands but the emphasis moved towards Lagavulin on its demise in history and over to Farming and Distilling. Let the arguments begin Regards Roger ----- Original Message ----- From: "Toni Sinclair" <[email protected]> To: "Islay" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 5:38 PM Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] Dunnyveg & Lagavullin Can somebody set me straight, please?
