Completely the wrong family I had 

I can't see any trace of Burnside Cottage in the censuses before 1881. It shows from this date up to 1901.

In the 1881 census, there are 5 households showing as living at a 'Burnside Cottage' in Glassary, including the Kerrs.

Hello Paul

Your only options left - I think, are,

http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/boundary_map_page.jsp?u_id=10091640&c_id=10107260

Use their boundy map facility and zoom down.  The parish remains in pink and you spend time looking around and seeing if there is more than 1 Burnside Cottage in the parish.

The other option is to go to the National Library of Scotlands map page and use their zoomable 6" to 1 mile search.

Good luck.

Hello Paul,

If you Google "Ordnance Survey", and go to the OS search page, type in Kilmichael Glassary.  The map that appears should show a village about 3 miles north of Lochgilphead, and just east of the A816 Oban road.  Between this road and the village, is the hamlet of Bridgend.

If you then go onto the "Old-Maps.co.uk" site and type in Kilmichael Glassary, three much older maps will be visible c1870 under the main map that is shown.  These old maps show Bridgend as a much smaller grouping of houses.  This may be the Bridgend that you are looking for.

In addition to the above if you visit the "Geograph" site, and again type in Kilmichael Glassary, you should gain access to 3 photographs of Bridgend as it is at present.

Hope this helps you in your quest.

In view of your other Dunoon connection there was a Burnside in Dunoon. Is this the one you are looking for?
