I’ve recently uncovered a further piece of the jigsaw which saw the fate of Auchentibber sealed. In June 1928, a petition by a number of residents of Auchentibber (still being referred to as Auchintibber in the 1920s) was presented to the District Committee. The petition was to raise concerns that the dwindling community in […]
Until August 2015, I thought this building was named Peasweep, but recently found out that Peasweep was the row across the road from it, when in fact, this ruin was actually called Brown’s Land.

My research into the Nimmo family. I’ve been told by a descendent of the Nimmo’s that it’s possible the Nimmo’s came over from Ireland, but I have no idea when that could have been. James Nimmo, born about 1820, Scotland died 9 March 1883, Coal Miner. His spouse Agnes Brown was born about 1820 and […]
