Good morning, Here are names from Mem. Dom., Chapter 9. Most of these people lived in Dornoch or surrounding area. Christine has informed me that there is no copyright on the book, since copyright belongs to the author. This means that we should be able to quote from it. So, if you find your ancestor's name in one of the chapters and want the full story, we can give it to you via this email list. But, I need some volunteers who have copies of the book and would like to help out by transcribing the stories. If I have made any mistakes in compiling this, I ask that someone will send a correction to the list, please. Rena Chapter IX. School Days at Dornoch. 1801-1803.

Hello Rena, I think that you are wonderful! I'd really appreciate to learn what chapter 9 of Memorabila Domestica has to say about the following man: > CLUNESS, Captain, of Cracraig. Also, from chapter 10, about the following: > Robert Mackay married > CLUNES, MEDLEY, niece of > CLUNES, UM, Colonel, of Cracaig, Loth. Many, many thanks. Lyndall Canberra, Oz
Hi Lyndall, The CLUNESS references come from a section describing GEORGE MACKAY of Araidh-Chlinni, chieftain of a sept of the Clan Mackay. "ROBERT, his eldest son was, when a young man, on marriage terms with one CHIRSTY GUNN, our dry-nurse during my mother's life-time, and a woman of eminent piety. She died, however, just when they were to be proclaimed in church. He afterwards got a commission in the army, and rose to the rank of captain. He married a Miss MEDLEY CLUNES, niece of Col. CLUNESS of Cracaig, parish of Loth, by whom he had one daughter. He retired on half-pay, and established his residence in the neighbourhood of Inverness. His daughter married Col. Mackay. She is a woman of piety and talent." Sage then continues with GEORGE MACKAY's second son, GEORGE. Mem. Dom. (1889), page 184.
