Hi I am looking for help locating a place in Kiltearn Parish that I think is an old farm name.
The name is Newton and it has been suggested that it is between Kiltearn church and Lemlair or down near Montgerald on the water side of the new road. In 1725 a relative of mine came from here.
Thank you
David

Re: farm names of Kiltearn Parish
Hello David,
Here’s a description of the farm from the Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh), Saturday, September 26, 1818.
VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE FARM.
To be Disposed of by private bargain.
THE REVERSION of the LEASE of NEWTON, situated in the parish of Kiltearn, and County of Ross, of which there are twenty-six years to run from Whitsunday next.
The local situation of this farm, its extent, and the many advantages which it possesses, render it an object to any individual of capital wishing to embark in agricultural pursuits.
It consists of about 194 acres of excellent arable land, 28 acres of rich carse ground, and about 100 acres of wood pasture well sheltered. The present rent is only L. 300, but it is considered by competent judges as worth L. 500 per annum.
The Highland Grazings of TEANACRAIG ACHTAUNACHAN, and KEEMLOCHGLASS, are attached to Newton, and comprised in the original lease at the rent above mentioned. They can be had together, or disposed of separately as purchasers may incline.
The farm of Newton is bounded at the lower extremity by the Cromarty Frith, where lime and coals can be easily landed, and farm produce shipped for market. There is a right to a Yair Fishing given to the lessee, which can be made over to a purchaser, and there is also a right of angling over the adjacent river. There is an excellent dwelling-house on the farm, with two gardens, well stocked with fruit trees and bushes, and a complete steading of offices.
Offers must be lodged on or before the 1st day of October next, when the whole will be disposed of, and the highest offerer preferred; and in the mean time further particulars will be communicated by Mr Harry Munro, at Newton, by Novar, or John Cameron, writer in Dingwall.
The grieve at Newton will show the lands.
If you want a copy of the article go down this track. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15443
Search for exactly what is inside the brackets (newton farm and kiltearn).
Maybe that’ll help,
Alan

Re: farm names of Kiltearn Parish
Hi David,
Newton can be seen on a 19th century Ordnance Survey map at http://maps.nls.uk/os/view/?sid=74490614 . It can be found just inland of the coastline above the A in Cromarty (Firth). On a modern map, this can be seen to be in the midst of a disused airfield at current OS map showing location where Newton used to be. Further Google searching shows that the site is now an industrial complex housing a company in oil production engineering.
All the best,
AndrewP
