Unlike other landlords, the Countess did not turn out people without offering them somewhere to go - whether they accepted is another matter.

Just down the road was my paternal 3xgt grandfather (Gray) and his Mackenzie wife --- poor crofters who probably had friends in Culrain..... I feel very sad. Sara
