The table shows 10½ davachs for Rosskeen but this may be an underestimate. I have not included Inverbreackie – and Newmoir may have been more than a davach.
Rosskeen was composed of two distinct parishes. RSS VI (1795) 1572-3 concerns a presentation to ‘the parsonage of Roskene and vicarage thereof, with the parsonage and vicarage of Newmekle, in the diocese of Ross’. At the time of the OSA there were still 2 glebes; one by the manse, one at Nonekill.
Culkenzie and Cuillich had sheaf-lands.
