PREFACE

I have had four different searches made in the Register House, Edinburgh, for genealogical facts. I have to thank Mr. George Macbeath, Bighouse, for his kindness in collecting information for me with regard to the descendants of William, Donald, and Ann Sinclair in Strath-halladale.

The subscriptions received do not pay the cost of getting searches made in the Register House and printing and binding the book. Mr. John H. Sinclair, New Glasgow, has offered to pay the whole of the loss. I cannot accept the whole of it from him. He can, however, have the privilege of paying the half of it for the sake of the Sinclairs of Shurery.

A. Maclean Sinclair.
Belfast, P.E. Island,
3 September 1901.

Note. - Seventy copies of this work were published in September 1901.
Owing to some facts ascertained since then, I have had thirteen pages reprinted.
The copies now published, thirty in number, are as full and correct as it is possible for me to make them.
I feel deeply obliged to Mr. Thomas Sinclair, the Caithness historian and antiquarian, for assisting me promptly and heartily, indeed enthusiastically, in collecting the information I required.

22 March 1902.
