67369: 14 Ruisgarry (Trealigarry)

The croft at 14 Ruisgarry was created in the 1850 relotting of Ruisgarry by the Harris Estate. The area it lies within is known as Trealigarry (Gaelic: Trealaigearraidh), probably meaning ‘meadowland of the bypath or shortcut’. 

14 Ruisgarry was allotted to Murdo Ross. In 1854 he moved to North Uist and the croft passed instead to his sister-in-law Marion Shaw. In 1864 she moved to another Ruisgarry croft, and croft 14 passed to Donald Munro and following his death to grand-daughter Catherine MacAskill, then her son Donald MacLeod.
