Hi, I am a new subscriber and have a question about the above subject. My Bible records indicate that my GGGrandfather (Garden Taylor) was born and emmigrated to America from Dunnottar, Kincardine, Scotland. I found him in the 1841 census in the Parish of Dunnottar in Kincardineshire. I assume that there is or was a town of Dunnottar. I know there is a Dunnottar Castle, but I don't see any town on current maps of Scotland. We will be leaving for a three-week tour of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and I'd love to be able to see the area where my ancestor lived. I see a town Kincardine, but it is a long ways from the Dunnottar Castle. Does anyone know if there is a town called Dunnottar now? Thanks for any help or info anyone may have.

Hi Connie, The town you are looking for is Stonehaven, you can see the castle from there.

Anyone have access to Dunnotar parish records? Doing research in that area and the head of the family was born Dunnoter Scotland. Name was George Murray born 1851. Jeff
I'm talking off the top of my head but it seems to me it is a Parish, a district of Stonehaven.

Janet, Thanks so much for the info on Dunnottar. I now know it is a Parish in the town of Stonehaven in Kincardineshire, Scotland. Unfortunately, we will not be going through that area on our tour, so I guess we'll just have to go again another time! I can't wait to see Scotland the first time -- we leave on Sunday! Connie Luck
I am searching the existence of a 'Laird Kinloch'. Possible first name 'David' . Date reference 1790's. Kincardine area. David Burnett
