Yes I've corresponded with both Ken and Ryk for many years.

Laird might just have been a nickname here. But, alternatively, there was a class of tenants known as "Bonnet Laird's" who farmed the land at a nominal rent on a long lease or tack (99 years often).
I came across this site by accident and I am very interested to know your connection with the Sinclairs. Charles Halley Sinclair was my Great Granddad, mothers side. He was a QM Capt in the Black Watch and is buried in Sabathu India. He died on 21 June 1896. I have his service record plus photograph. Colin.
