I don't know what area I should look in on here :-\. I'm hunting information c1720 Isle of Barra? ??? I know where it is and what it looks like, but no idea what area you would call it to post in.

Hi Piffy

I get up here as well ;D
A quick look at the index would suggest that it will be the Inverness-shire board.

For purposes of genealogy, Barra is in the county of Inverness.
