Emigrant lists were drawn up by the Sutherland Estate management of those people from parishes in the east of Sutherland during a period of intense emigration. Included here are those who emigrated to in 1829, 1830, 1831, 1841, 1842, 1844, 1847.
It should not be assumed that these lists provide a complete record of all emigrants from this part of Sutherland in this period. The lists are contained in the Sutherland Papers in the National Library of Scotland and appear by permission of the Countess of Sutherland. Adapted here from the original transcriptions by Malcolm Bangor-Jones. Some lists indicate that the people left for America but most went to Canada. As always I have shown all Mc and Mac names as Mac.
The following people left from Rogart parish – under surname each person is shown by Christian name, place of residence, tenant, servant, etc followed by number in party who left and when.
