This question is possibly better put up on one of the Scotland boards?

"..His occupation is listed as a Harrier "  Can you direct us to the record you are looking at please?

Is it possible that the word might be something other than........ H - a -r - r- i - e - r.......

Could it be  Farrier ?

Hiya,

I've moved your topic here to the "Occupational Interests" board, and I've added the occupation (Harrier) to the the title of your post. Hopefully it will help people find your post and so get you some more help and ideas.

Also if you put the word Harrier into the Search box at the top of this page you'll get some results on what a Harrier is.

All the best,
Trystan
