8 Thunga

Duncan Smith (1803-1855) was the first to occupy this croft, it is not known where he came from but he is thought to be from Laxay. He passed 8 Tong to his nephew, Donald Smith (1811-1888) of 2 Tong and it was passed to his widow,  Marion Macdonald (1817-1895) of 12 Tong. The next tenant was Kenneth Macleod of 11 Aird Tong and after his death in 1920 8 Tong was passed to his  widow, Catherine.

In 1949 Donald Mackay (1908-1986) of 42 North Tolsta bought the croft.
