The Lands And People Of Moray

  BRUCE B BISHOP FSA Scot.

A series which studies, Parish by Parish, the History and People of the Baronies, Estates and Land of Morayshire.

 

An initial chapter covers the history of each Parish after which the estates and lands which were held by various landowners in the parish are considered individually from their earliest records up to the time of the first censuses in the mid-nineteenth century.

 

A chronological list of many of the residents of each estate has been compiled from the Kirk Session Records, Estate Records, Parish Registers and any other available documentation, together with sketch maps or copies of early plans of each area.
