Hello Sharon,

I can not speak for the practice in Scotland, however, in England
a "glebe" is a piece of land that is / was owned by the Church of England.

This has resulted in many domiciles being named: The Glebe,
Glebe House, Glebe Cottage, Glebe Farm, Glebe Parsonage.

The ecclesiastical connection may be rather tenuous though.

Best regards,
Iain Rogers, Hong Kong, China

> In the 1841 census for Glenelg, my ggg-grandfather John Campbell's address
is listed as Buirblach or Glebe. I have tried to find this place but came up
empty. Could it be a farm or house name instead of a town? Any help will be
appreciated.
