Discussion

source: nls, MS. 2129, p.12a (a note by Donald Gregory).

comment: There is no corroboration for this grant of disputed lands (see no. 4). Rev. Dr Donald McQueen’s enquiry has not been located; he was minister of Kilmuir in Skye, author of ‘A Dissertation on the Government of the People in the Western Isles’ (1774) published in Pennant, Tour, iii, 421-36, and died in 1785. Stronchur (cf. Stroncroy in no. A23) is probably Strone at the mouth of Glen Loy — Strone in Glenloy is on record in 1567 (Mackintosh Muniments, no.87).
