    1. Re: [WIG LIST] Krikmaiden Farms
    2. Would love to see the information contained in Kirkmaiden Farms display in some kind of printed form. My main family of interest is Jamieson. The photos on Facebook are great and thanks for mentioning this source. Betty Hagberg Moline, IL In a message dated 3/24/2013 2:40:22 A.M.

It is on display in the Information Centre in Drummore which has limited opening hours and is manned by volunteers. I'm afraid I don't know if it has an email address nor who the current committee are. In the summer I plan to visit the Info Centre and offer to record the details in some type of list if that has not already been done. A photographic record of the map appears on the Facebook site 'I Love Drummore' - it is shown under 'Photos' and is dated Sept 28 2012. I had a look at it and it confirms your info - Kelton is shown at Logan Mill from 1841 to 1890. I couldn't see the Kelton name in any other farms. Prior to 1841 the mill was tenanted by Beggs and from 1890 by the Logan Estate who presumably managed it themselves. Hope this helps Alan
