Hello, my ancestors are the Smith family who lived in Linnhall / Lairdholm farms from the late 1780's to 1860's.

I wondered if anyone had any images or details or history about the location.

This is my rough timeline:

06.10.1786
For sale - Linhall, Lairdholm and Ravenshill as William Johnstone had died.
Sold - Linhall Farm at Lairdholm by the widow Johnstone.

18.08.1793
William Smith daughter, Janet born at Linnhall

28.11.1797
Let by Mr Smith of Langshaw?
William Johnstone to show boundaries.

26.05.1803
Benjamin Smith daughter, Maria born Linhall

1841
Census lists John & Helen Smiths (born on Middlebie) in Linhall

1848 to 1858?
William Smith lived in Linnhall at Lairdholm. This was described as a couple of cottages with gardens attached at Lairdholm Burnside. They are sometimes called "Lairdholm" from an old farmhouse of that name that stood not far from there.

1852
Maps show Scroggs Estate owned by William Johnson next to Rosebank north of the River of Milk.
Land also marked as Lands of Linns and Lands of Linnhead.
