Thank you, Keith and Iain, for yet another great Tiree genealogy resource!

I leave for Scotland in two days! My first visit to both Tiree and
Scotland. Most exciting!

Subject: [SCT-ARL-TIREE] Argyll Estate Instructions 1771-1805

A second book by Eric Cregeen, "Argyll Estate Instructions Mull, Morvern,
Tiree 1771-1805", was published by the Scottish History Society in 1964. It
is a collection of letters between the chamberlains of the Argyll Estates
and the 5th Duke of Argyll relating to the management of the estates. The
letters cover a wide range of matters, including incidents, land
improvements, sales of farm produce, orders for timber, accounts of woods
supplied, and misdemeanours such as illegal distilling resulting in
eviction. They include the name, occupation and village or farm of
residence of many people living on the estates. The entries relating to
Tiree have been indexed by Iain Campbell in a searchable Excel spreadsheet,
which is reproduced, with his permission, on the Isle of Tiree Genealogy
website at www.keithdash.net (On the Homepage click on the "Argyll Estate"
link). Iain has indicated that he would be happy to provide more detail
about any entry in the index to fellow researchers who do not have access to
the original text: to contact him click on his link in the box at the bottom
of the Argyll Estate page. Thank you, Iain!
