Statistical Accounts

On the 25 May 179, Sir John Sinclair, Baronet of Ulbster in Caithness wrote to over nine hundred Parish ministers throughout Scotland asking them to contribute to a Statistical Inquiry by answering as best they could,a series of one hundred and sixty-six Queries respecting each Parish.

The New (or Second) Statistical Account of Scotland built on the previous work carried out by Sir John Sinclair for the First Statistical Accounts by including the knowledge of local doctors and schoolmasters. The Second Statistical Accounts were published between 1834 and 1845.

Lemlair farm workers' cottages. For some years the cottage on the right (with gable end facing the road) was "Lemlair Side School" catering for pupils from Primary 1 to 5. The teacher, Miss Margaret Mackenzie, came daily from her home in Tain, via train to Foulis Station where she collected her bicycle and - in all weathers - cycled the 1½ miles to the school.
