that part was quite easy to look up, as it looks like we owned a farm & handed down, as for about 100 years it was the same place mentioned, Herdhill, Kirriemuir

Now I'm going to have The Ball of Kerrimuir going through my head all day.

I can go back as far as my great grandparents whom a relative says were both born in Ireland in the early 1800's. I haven't found the link to where as of now.
