PARISH OF GOLPIE MILITIA LIST 1826
Transcribed from the original document (SC9/87/101) by Malcolm Bangor-Jones
Note: under 30 means less than 30 years of age while over 30 means just that.
Some have extra notes showing unfitness for service or ground of exemption claimed. This list also contained the names
of a few English servants at Dunrobin with the note that they had gone to England. I have omitted them from this version
of the original list. It is a long list but alphabetically arranged. All Mc and Mac names shown as Mac.
