91806: Murdo Macleod

Murdo (1827-1887) was the son of Roderick Macleod and Margaret Smith of Old South Tolsta Tack. Murdo's paternal grandfather appears on the Old South Tolsta Tack sub-tenants list of 1820. 
In 1830, when Old South Tolsta Tack was divided into crofts, Murdo's grandfather obtained 20 Old South Tolsta. In due course 20 Old South Tolsta passed to Murdo's father. In the 1851 croft re-lotting the family obtained 20 North Tolsta. 

Murdo married Campbell Maclennan of 49 North Tolsta, and settled as cottars at 60 North Tolsta. The couple had seven children. 

In 1874 the family obtained 75 North Tolsta as a newly lotted croft. His sister, Gormelia, became a cottar at 75 North Tolsta.
