Notes: Jock and Hannah had a small croft at Heights of Brae, up the hill from Dingwall. Prior to that they occupied a croft a short distance away at Leidchruich. This latter croft was known as "Keeper's Croft", used by gamekeepers on the Tulloch estate. Jock's occupation at marriage is gamekeeper so it seems likely that he was a Tulloch gamekeeper whilst living there. Jock and his crofts get mentioned in this document, entries 611 & 616. This map shows the later croft at (1) and the earlier croft at (2). The later croft sits between the Heights of Brae and the Heights of Dochcarty, however, Hannah's death certificate confirms their residence to be at Heights of Brae. Modern photos of the croft houses here.
