Information requested

1 When was the house at 7 Teavarran was decrofted, maybe around 1976?

2 South Teavarran the croft, was an amalgamation of a number of crofts. Teavarran: 7, 6, half of 5; and Ruifour: 8 and half of 7. When did this happen, though it was obviously sometime during Lovat possession - prior to 1986.

3 There is another house apparently on the former croft 5, and next to Ruifour, which Rosemary Dingwall, who bought that property sometime between 1975 and 1978, insisted was the original 7 Teavarran. This house is now occupied and has been renamed 7 Teavarron.

• This Lovat map of 1871 shows the crofts and part crofts that formed South Teavarran. My house is circled on the right, on croft 7. That on the left is the original croft house for croft 5, and against the boundary of 7. The other '7 Teavarran' does not show on this map.

• This OS map of 1901 shows the house at the end of the Ruifour track on croft 5, and below it is the old water mill. The site of the original croft 5 house is marked with a cross. It is barely visible today.

• The South Teavarran croft map shows the 2 houses excluded, and the site of the previous croft 5 house.

• When was this other house decrofted, is it actually a replacement for 5 Teavarran, and any other information that might explain why this house has the same number as mine. My 7 Teavarran was occupied by Alexander McDonald until 1982, as a demolition order was placed on the building, and several years after the other one was purchased as 7 Teavarran.

4 Also request for any relevant historic information regarding the above, and in particular concerning croft 7.
