What a wonderful site.
Such insight, to the past, life was just like ours, when you read the trials.

Afternoon all 
I decided to check out the site.......Lo,and behold!!!,I think Ive got one....Henry davidson,20,mason.Dunoon.
He was pinched in cowal,twice....in 1866-,and in 1867,both for breach of peace,d&d,Assault  ,Silly bugger,probably been on "The Turps"!!!!
Sadly,thats all Ive found on him 
Anyone have any idea about the distance from dunoon to cowal?or any interesting building happening in the area at the time? or suggestions.
cheers............chrissy.

Hi all Cowalites, or those with aspirations,
As far as I can see, and of course, not wishing to pick nits etc., but on my map, it´s 23 miles from Dunoon to Inveraray as the proverbial crow flies, but 39 if you are so unfortunate as to have to use the road.
Awraverribest,
Thrall
Sorry Falkyrn, no disrespect intended, please pull me up if I´m wrong. Keep on posting. Th.
