To Hector99,

Unfortunately I am unable to send messages to members, so I will reply here in the hope you read it.

It would be great to view the PDF you have of the above book.

Thanks,
Sam

The following plans (1790-1852) by George Buchanan show the Shirvane estate (or parts of it?) which appears to be in two separate parcels of land to the North and East, and South of Lochgilphead.  (https://maps.nls.uk/view/216586834).

The Plan that appears to relate to Shirvan is (https://maps.nls.uk/view/216586840).  This shows Ballimenach as the most westerly property on the Laigh Park area of the plan, but there is no reference to Shirvan at this date.

Castleton House is shown on the 1st ed. 1843 OS 6" map of the area, but by the time the 2nd ed. of the 6" map was revised in 1898 and published in 1899, Castleton House appears to have been renamed Shirvan.

If you Google "Shirvan Lochgilphead" a raft of information appears about the area.

Great help. Thank you very much.

I know this post is ancient, but I'm struggling to find a copy of the book anywhere to read.

I'm looking for information on Midd Shirvane, and where it's present day location is. I read through the entire topic and saw a mention of it being near Ballymeanoch, but nothing concrete.

I have a 3xgreat grandfather who lived there in 1841 with his parents and siblings. Malcolm McNaught. I can't find any records of his birth online, it was about 1821. His father, Alexander McNaught was 65 in 1841 and also from the Kilmichael area.
