Looking for Camisour, Parish of Tarland
« on: Yesterday at 21:57 »
Hi, I am looking for a bit of local knowledge. Does anyone know where Camisour is in the Parish of Tarland?
It crops up in various documents I am interested in, but I have been unable to locate it so far.

From this book

https://allanach.co.uk/stray-memories-of-strathdon-by-charles-christie-1938/


Camasour was a croft on the Inverernan estate and incorporated in the farm of Lonach. The buildings

were situated in the belt of timber at the roadside, a short distance to the west of Forbes Lodge.

Thank you very much, that is fantastic.
Tarland is such an oddly shaped parish, in one of the pendicles!
I am interested because William Fletcher was schoolmaster there.
Perhaps the Lonach Inn is the school!
