Excellent! Glad you got there eventually.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

As it happens I was passing Dundurcas this afternoon. I'm afraid the sun was in the wrong direction!

There's another stone mentioning Bremner right next to Du42 so I snapped that one as well.

Wow and Wow again. That is amazing. Thank you so much.

I did my DNA a few months ago and am predominantly Scottish so this got me interested again in that line.

With all the help from you lovely people I have more information that I expected.

Cheers 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I see that Jane Bremner (on the second stone) was the wife of Robert Grant, and that Jane Robertson or Bremner's son was Robert Grant Bremner. So it seems likely that she was related.

This Jane died at Corrie, Birnie. LIBINDX says only that Corrie Farm was united with Glenchapple Farm. I know where Glenchapel is

but I have not found Corrie.

In the 1871 census, it's in Enumeration District 1, and is listed between Bardon and Glenlatterach.

It's pretty annoying because it's the only place listed in that ED that I don't know about and cannot find. (There is one other I am not 100% sure about.)

However .... the burn that flows into what is now Glenlatterach Reservoir is called the Leanoch Burn, and it is formed by the confluence of the Stripe of Loan and the Burn of Corries! Just downstream from this point there are a few rickles of stones, unnamed on the maps. I think this must be Corrie, and a pretty remote place it is too. See
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=57.5348&lon=-3.3497&layers=5&b=1 and
http://www.geograph.org.uk/browse.php?gridref=NJ1952&gridsquare=NJ&eastings=19&northings=50&setpos=Show+%3E - it's the little square in the edge of the green (forest). Click on the map to enlarge it.

PS I had to re-size the photos to fit them on here. If you want the full size versions PM me with your e-mail address.
