Hello all,
The eight volumes of "Catalogue of Manuscripts Acquired Since 1925" is not online or available in my local library, but I have found several "snippets" which index items dealing with Merchants at Ullapool in Coigach, I'd appreciate if any kind soul could take a boo at them for me.
Chief of interest is trying to untangle two "Murdoch MacKenzie" merchants, possibly father and son, as one is "Sr" and the other is "Jr", though that might only mean one was older than the other.
Many thanks,
Donald.
