  • Notes 
    • In 1692, Gilbert "Mc Illie" was a fencible man in Gartgunnell and Tangie.

      In 1694, Archibald "Gillis" occupied a hearth in Campbeltown.

      On 7 September 1709 Jeremy and John "Gilleis" in Skeringblingorry received a tack for "⅔ of 2 ½ mkland of Gartgunnel."

      On 21 September 1709 Alexander Mcneall in Gartgunnell received a tack of "½ of 3 mk 4/8d land of Skeroblingorrie presently possesst by Malcolm Mcneall."

      It appears that they may have swapped their holding with Alexander McNeall at this time.
