Hi all I visited this place today www.nas.gov.uk and I clicked on Justice of the Peace In there it says that there are records for Sutherlandshire from 1740-1968 It would be various records I am sure....petty theft, maybe even clearances...drummed up charges...to make them clear the land??? It would most certainly cover the Jacobites....It would be interesting to know if any of my ancestors were Jacobites... Is it clear to anyone else....how one can access this if not in Scotland, If I wrote to the address here, would it send me copies of the records?? Or would I have to be specific do you suppose. I have no interest myself in later records....only those from 1740 to about 1850is...only a 110 years...not bad eh.....lol Tell me your thoughts after you read it Cathy
