1821 Census of Moy & Dalarossie, Inverness-shire

[Scotsquinne]

Very surprised to find tonight that a relative of mine, in 1978, managed to get hold of details from an 1821 Census??  I had no idea there was one done as early as that?  Any ideas where I would find a copy?

Thanks for this Annie. I didn't know so many bits survived pre 1841.
Wonderful if they are the places you want - can't seem to find any for my people!
Hope some people find them useful.
