Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen place names?
« on: Thursday 11 February 10 00:37 GMT (UK) »
I have been looking up the places that my ancestors lived--Bogbrae, Clochtow, and New Clochtow, etc., and when I find them one google maps most of these places are a house and some out buildings nothing that would be considered a village or a hamlet. Can I assume that these are the names of the farms and that only one family lived there? And if they are the name of the farm would the people that are farming them be tenants? Most of the records I have indicate that they are tenant farmers-I'm assuming not the land owner, so how would I find out who owned the land.
Thanks
