Duncan Cameron, Crofter



Duncan Cameron, crofter, at Blar-mac-foldach, on the Duke of Gordon's Estate, aged seventy five, (born 1750), lived at Conaglen of Ardgour, where he was born, until his tenth year, thereafter lived for twenty years at Gortan, at the head of Loch Nevis, and in other places in the immediate neighbourhood. Asked who were at the time the tenants of Gortan and Achaglyne, says they were of the tribe of MacGillivride, the estates of Lochiel and Barisdale being then both under forfeiture to the Crown.
