Edited to say: Tomintoul Croft not farm.

This is the building they were standing outside at the end of the program one of the photos on this site is the exterior of that building I believe from recollection when I looked at it the other day.

Kate's post #14 gives the address of the cottage or farm in Tomintoul as 5 Corriemulzie - which isn't in Tomintoul nor is it Tomintoul Croft or Farm, which was just on the outskirts of Tomintoul village.

In other words, three different places are mentioned:

Tomintoul village
Tomintoul Croft/Farm
Corriemulzie.

Perhaps they called them all Tomintoul because they felt the difference wasn't important in the grand scheme of things.

The address I gave is only gleaned from ancestry's and FMP's (mis)transcriptions - I haven't looked at the actual images. They mostly say Corriemulgie but I assume this is supposed to be Corriemulzie.
Also I don't know what it says on the 1911 census as ancestry and FMP don't have a transcription of that one yet.

Didn't someone else on WDYTA have an ancestor who came from Tomintoul?

Only just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it - think I might even watch it again. I thought Annie Lennox was very warm and I thought a lot of her feelings were quite measured and similar to what many of us would have felt.

I think we have to assume that the trees are very well researched but that they just don't show it all - the researchers are likely to be as competent as the rest of us.

The Parochial records aren't available online are they? I have so many Scottish ancestors!

If you mean the Parochial Board Minutes, then no, although there may be a few on various sites if you google,such as this one:
Search Dumfries Poor Board Minutes

The Old Parochial Registers (aka Parish Registers) are on SP.

Thanks Kate - I did mean the Parochial Board Minutes - I could have bought Monaco with the amount I've spent on SP:-)

Just looked at the Scottish 1911 census to put us out of our misery but I don't think it helps much

Its says:-

Corriemulzie Stables and it is in the Parish of Braemar.

There are 3 households listed for these buildings they aren't numbered but the Schedule no's are

41
Jane Merton or Merston Head aged 48 no occupation
William A her son aged 26 Estate Carter
Bella Jane daughter aged 16 Assistant Dressmaker

Me too or a small island in the Med.

I watched it twice because of some of the queries.

I have had a couple of women in my tree being admonished at the Kirk Sessions and the father's being named and sought for maintenance.

Might have a few more but only looked for those two because they didn't name the fathers on the baptisms.
