Anyone interested in this parish should read "A History of the Glassary Stewarts", especially if they have Stewart ancestors.  It was written by my third cousin, Alexander Stewart.  Sadly it is out of print, but the book is in the National Library of Scotland, as well as the British Library.

The families mainly lived at Dunamuck, Druim, Ballimore, Auchoish, Auchinbreck and Achnaba.

That book is available online at https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/839818

Hi,

I'm trying to find Cossack Inn on a current map, e.g Google or Bing Map. I have Allan Begg's book but cannot locate the ruin's on a modern satellite map. They should be easy to see especially the bridge next to the ruin's. I was wondering if anyone has located the position of the ruins?

I don't know where it is but you might be better looking on the National Library of Scotland mapping.  They have complete coverage of the 1st and 2nd Edition 6" maps and 1st and 2nd Edition 25" covers towns and villages.

Not sure if you’re still active, Ila, but curious about John and Mary Currie (nee MacAlpine).  I believe I’m descended from their daughter Margaret who married a Neil Galbraith and came to Canada.

My great-grandmother was Lena Galbraith, daughter of Duncan Galbraith who was born in Ontario and first to move to Manitoba.  His father was Neil Galbraith (b ? in Scotland, died in Ontario 1875). He married Janet Orr from Islay (b 1823 in Kilarrow Parish, Islay; d. 1897 Carman, Manitoba).

Neil’s father was also Neil Galbraith and his mother was Margaret Currie, both of Argyllshire. They came to Canada, settling in Ontario and both died there (he in 1867, she in 1860). As I understand it her parents, John and Mary Currie, also came over.

@JLitmore,
Your Margaret Currie Galbraith seems to be a lot like https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93835564/margaret-galbreath
There were many from Glassary amongst the Talbot Settlement in and around Elgin County, Ontario.
My family had Galbraith neighbors in Dutton, circa 1910.
One of these (John Kenneth G.) became quite famous as JFK's economic guru and as author of The Scotch.
The library there is now named for him.
