The 1841 / 1901 census refer to the "Mill of Buckie"

Mill of Buckie is named on the current maps. See the map at
http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4264
to which I have already referred above.

I do have a tiny niggling doubt about assuming that 'Buckie's Mill/Miln' and 'Mill of Buckie' are one and the same.

I have no doubt at all that Mill of Arradoul, Mill of Rathven, Mill of Clochan and Mill of Towie are not the same as Mill of Buckie.

Just a thought - Bertie says that Rev James Walker studied at the University of Aberdeen. The Roll of Graduates of the University of Aberdeen is widely available and might contain some more details. If not, try asking the University if their archives contain anything more about him.

Yes, Fb9, that was submitted by MonicaL on page one...  Rosie of course needs to know where she might find Rev. jame's Walker's father William's birth 1740 to anywhere earlier in the century, as referenced in publications as "Buckie's Miln."

Agree with you JJ .. not safe to assume Buckie's Miln and Mill of Buckie are one and the same.

Onward ...!

Thanks FB .. yes, I had seen the Scotland's Places entry .. have also ploughed through many of their records but no sign of Mr Walker ... believe me, I had good reason to head up my query "the mysterious ...".

Rosie, the two locations ( Buckie's Mill/ Mill of buckie) on that map are almost right beside each other...Hopefully you can find out  more about the Glenberve/ Aberdeenshire reference by contacting the site
