Hello

I take it that you have a copy of his will - 4 pages and extract of inventory, 5 pages - available from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - at £5 each?

Regards,    Steve :O)

Update:  Have done a simple Internet search and have sent you address and tel no: of the current owners.

If you want to see what the area looked like at the time go to the National Library for Scotland website and use the 6 in to 1 mile  Google overlay maps:

http://geo.nls.uk/os6inch/google.html

Pick up Fraserburgh in the NE of Scotland as you zoom down into the map, next pick up Rosehearty and as you close in on Roseheraty look for Peathill - you'll find Fisherbriggs just to the south west of Peathill.  The maps will change as you change the scale of the map.

Give it a try if you haven't before   :O)

The Family name which I sent you definitely owns the farm now as I've found a link online to a planning refusal for a family member to build on a distant part of the farm.  Your pm box was full so I couldn't send you a message.
