Sir,
In accordance with your
order of the 21st Decr [December] I have again
Called on the Authorities with
respect to the proper mode of
writing this Parish name on
the Ordnance Survey Plans.
Mr Greig Schoolmaster.
Session clerk, and Registrar of
the Parish, States that he would
recommend the adoption of
Knockbain as the Parish name
as he uses it now in all the
returns he has occasion to fill
up.
James Cameron Esqr. Factor
Balnakyle Still adheres to the
Name Kilmuir Wester and Suddie
Commonly called Knockbain
[and] recommends that is should
[be] written as Such on the
Ordnance Survey Plans.

[the] name of the Parish is

as you will See by his remark
on Your Memo. and his
reply to my half margin
hereon annexed.
On maKing enquiries
with respect to the changing
of the Ph [Parish] name to Knockbain
it took place in 1756 when
the Parishes of Kilmuir Wester &
Suddie were united. The church
was built on a peice of ground
named Knockbain and So the
Ph [Parish] name became changed. I
have made many enquiries and
from the information gained I
believe the Proper name of the
Ph [Parish] is Kilmuir Wester and
Suddie, locally termed
Knockbain as an easier name
to term it by, in Correspondence
or Conversation.
