I know where Dreghorn is, but I have a parish register entry that refers to "Litwood" in the parish of Dreghorn.
For anyone researching the 3 DICKIE brothers John, David & Robert who married the MUIR sisters Agnes, Mary and Margaret - this is where their father (John Dickie) lived.

There is no name index to the 1871 Census (yet) and so you will need an address for a look-up.
Scotlandspeople promise a name index sometime soon, perhaps the end of the year.
