"Register of Marriages in Tynron
1762
June 18 Alexander Gracie and Helen Grierson in Dalmakirran"

Note: 'Dalmakirran' is probably modern Dalmakerran whose co-ordinates are Latitude: 55.2131 / 55°12'47"N Longitude: -3.8859 / 3°53'9"W. It lies north-east of Moniaive on the south side of Shinnel Water, to the west of Lannhall Wood.

"Dalmakerran is evidently a farm that prospered greatly during the 19th century. The oldest surviving building is the 2-storey cottage and byre behind the stable yard. This dates from about 1800, and probably replaced an earlier (single storey) dwelling. A building is shown on this spot on William Crawford¿s map of 1804, and ¿Dalmakeron¿ is marked on General Roy¿s map of circa 1760 (although here no buildings seem to be marked)."
