I've been looking on Scotlands People to try and find a will for William Pirie, from Culsalmond.
There is an 1812 will in a place called Collonich. I've tried Multimap and even googled it but I can't find it.
Anyone got any ideas where it is? Please!

I'm glad you're still working away at your Piries, I hope the will is revealing. Have a look at this site, there is a place name Collonach in Drumoak - the closest I could see to the SP entry:
MacIsaac, MacDonald, MacPherson, MacVarish, MacMaster: Moidart - Inverness-shire. Gillies: pre-1850 Knoydart, Inverness-shire /post 1850s Fort William area - Argyll. Tully, Tulley, Moran, Murphy: Lanarkshire. Durnan, Durnin, Kelly, Tully, McPhillips: Co Monaghan. McIntyre, McMahon, Tully: Co Cavan (?) Ireland. Moran: Co Mayo (?) Ireland. ..........and lots of Spanish name interests........
