Hi all
Herewith the details of the Douglas tenancy at Cragganfearn. They appear to have been there from around 1730 -1815, having taken over from a Cameron family who were there in 1707. Prior to that they may have been at Haugh of Tulliemet, but not as tenants.

Tried to trace James Douglas in Haugh of Tulliemet but find in 1727 it is tenanted by Charles Robertson. It is likely that the tack of 1730 was James Douglas's first tenancy. Also in 1730 he paid his seat rent for Dowally Church for the firt time.
Also checked the list of "Fencible Men" the Duke of Atholl's fighting men, in 1707. It lists James and Alexander Douglas at Haugh of Tulliemet as well as John Henderson the tenant, his servant, and a Daniel Douglas."
Also found:
Douglas, Daniel, 32, Laborer, Cragganfearn, Logerait, Perthshire from Greenock to N.Y., 4 September 1817 on the "William", Purinton.
Hope this helps someone
