Re  Barcaple
Hi,  I don't know if this helps.
I read the will of Walter Montgomerie Neilson a couple of days ago.
It refers to Barcaple mansion being rented to Mrs Elizabeth G Pinching for £175 from whitsunday to 8th July 1889. Regards Vikki

Hi,   Are you still looking for info on Queenshill and Barcaple ?
       My mother in laws family [ Neilson ] lived there until it was destroyed by fire [ ? when ] and then they lived at Barcaple.  I believe the stables etc  have been converted into holiday Lets. We are going to do a mini tour of Neilson family interest on our way to the Orkneys and will take photographs !  Have you found a picture of Queenshill ? We would be very interested.   Regards  Vikki
