Hi Laura,
  I may have been too quick to say Balnacruie, other than I have been seeing it on the censuses that I have been going through, and was surprised at how very close it is to Duthil (Donald Mcgregor, 1798; Penuel Mcgregor, 1825-; John Grant abt 1859; John Robertson 1862-1947; James Grant, abt 1867; Margaret Grant, abt 1867; Jane Ann Grant, 1893; Donald Grant Robertson(1900-1980); Tullochgribban (Jessie Grant 1863-1921); Milton, and Docharn (James Grant abt 1834-1874).   The other area that I believe my family is from includes Alvie, Insh and Kingussie (Lachlen Robertson, abt 1822).  It seems my people were shepherds and farmers, although my grandfather and his 2 brothers were all bobbies, I believe, and thus moved out of the highlands for jobs.  I don't know if any of these names will connect, but it is always possible...  I also know that several of the Robertsons went on to immigrate to both Nova Scotia and to New Zealand, but my details are sparse. It truly is a large, facinating puzzle, is it not?    June

  I am trying to sort out my Grant/Robertson connections and have some information from stone markers at Duthil.  My great grandmother, Jessie Grant (1863-1921) lived at Tullochgribban cottage (at Dulnain Bridge, I believe, and thus 3 mi from Grantown and close to Boat-of Garten).  Can Tullochgribban and Tullochgorum be the same place? 
  Thank you for any information,  June
