Hi everyone.
On an 1863 Marriage certificate, I have a Peter Robertson, son of Duncan Robertson, residing at Moirlanich, Glenlochay, in the Parish of Kenmore. In an effort to find out exactly where Moirlanich was, I put the name into google and discovered Moirlanich Longhouse, a historic attraction of the same name (http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/80/), that was inhabited by three generations of the Robertson family.
I was wondering if anybody on Rootschat knew if Moirlanich refers only to the house or also the surrounding area, and if anybody has any more information.
Thanks
TN

I believe its just the house. I was there in April - we were going to stay in a holiday chalet nearby but I wanted to have look at the longhouse first so we stopped the car there .. my 7 year -old son was HORRIFIED because thats where he thought we were staying haha!

Hi TN
I'm a newcomer to Rootschat. I picked up a link to your posting whilst 'Googling' Moirlanich.
I also have a link to Peter Robertson and have traced most of the occupants of Moirlanich between 1806 and the final occupant in 1968.
I intend to visit Moirlanich quite soon as well as various other places nearby which have family connections such as Methven churchyard.

Hi TN
Received your PM, however I am unable to reply yet as rules state I must have at least three postings before I can do so. I will deal with this shortly. I am descended from Betsy Ann Robertson, born 09 Mar 1874, sister of Janet. I have managed to get back to Duncans parents. Will provide details when returning PM.
