Argyllshire / Re: deserted settlements of glassary parish
« on: Thursday 14 October 10 00:37 BST (UK)  »
hello, i am up late watching the miners come out, its amazing!
according to this booklet   dun-na -marag was situated between achnabreck and cairnbaan, (you should be able to find these places on a current map) apparently this settlement was still in use in 1855 and there was a mary rowan born there in thst year. the booklet says in earlier times it had once been a croft or holding as on an old plan it states 8 acres arable, 4 acres pasture.
the booklet does not say where dunamuck was but says there were quite a few dwellings and also a mill here, there is a list of deaths at dunamack which include an archibald campbell died at age 18 in 1856 and also a margaret campbell died at 82 in 1875, there is a donald campbell born at dunamuck in 1855.
i hope this is of some use, willl look through the book for the names you have listed and see if i can finnd anything else,

Argyllshire / deserted settlements of glassary parish

hello,
 i was in my local thrift shop in tarbert and picked up a binder entitled "deserted settlements of glassary parish, some of the ruined crofts, farms, and dwellings in glassary parish with names of people who once inhabited them".  put together by allan begg and published by argyll & bute council. if any of you would like to look for any old settlements then just let me know, there are pictures of some of the ruins which might be of interest also, hopefully it will be interest to some of you,
genny
