Please don't forget that the information on the IGI at FamilySearch is not a primary source. It is an index, and a very useful one at that, but it does contain information submitted or contributed by all sorts of people, and not all of it is accurate.

So (a) you should always plan to follow up anything on FamilySearch by looking at the original documents and (b) if FamilySearch says one thing and the original document says something else, I know which one I would trust.

Original documents are on Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. There is no substitute for this in the case of post-1855 births, marriages and deaths, but earlier documents, and the census from 1841 to 1901, can be accessed in the form of microfilm in local libraries in Scotland and at LDS Church Family History Centres worldwide.

Just by chance I was at Jinkabout last week, there was a family of Meek's in the mill in 1798, who emigrated to Quebec, I believe the proprietor then was the Duke of Hamilton. Of the mill itself I could find nothing, it was on a loop of the Avon near the Roman Wall, it's now an industrial estate adjoining the Grangemouth oil refinery, even the mill lade has vanished and an oil pipeline runs through the site. A couple of locals I asked had never even heard of the name. Also the remains of an old tower called Inveravon which I never attempted.
 
Curiously there was a Jinkabout Mill on the Water of Leith, too much of a coincidence?

Hi Folks,
      Checking up on the Jinkabout Mill at Inveravon by Polmont, I found this piece of info in the The Edinburgh Gazette December 23,1921 page 2227,left hand col.3rd bit down.It's Bout the estate of William Wilson from that area in the early 1920's.

Hi Skoosh,
    I just found out that the Jinkabout Mill at The Water of Leith was a paper mill when the one at Polmont was a corn mill,thought you might want to know that.
 cheers  D.F.
