A number of my Kerr ancestors lived in around Cleughbrae hamlet , not far from Mouswald, can anyone give me knowledge and information about the hamlet?. I am particularly interested in any farms that are located in Cleughbrae. Thanking you in anticipation.

To see 4 maps which include Cleughbrae go to:
www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/towns/townmap5269.html

The maps are Modern, Photo, 19th C, and 20th C.
I forgot to mention that to access them you click the icon on the right with a red cross (Details).

You may or may not, as the case might be, know of this site which mentions the Memorial Inscriptions for 13 of the name Kerr in Mouswald Cemetery.

Glad to be of help.
