That's great!  Thanks for the information and the photograph.  It also encourages me that it's a small place, so I think I'm on the right track tracing my family back.

I must try and visit it next time I'm up.

Cheers,


Nick.

Perthshire / Port of Menteith/Ballanoughcater

Hello,

In the course of my family tree research, I have recently found that my 5th great-grandfather was born (or at least baptised) in Port of Menteith, which appears to have been in Perthshire in the 1700s, hence my query here.

My ancestor's baptismal record says he was baptised at a place called Ballanoughcater, as do those of various other family members (sometimes with spelling variations).  However, Googling this name draws an absolute blank.  I don't suppose anyone here has heard of Ballanoughcater?

Thanks,


Nick.
