Sir,
I referred this name
to the Lessee of the Ferry
at Invergordon and
annexed is his reply.
He does not agree with
either modes given on the
Plans. "Inverbrakie"
it appears is the mode
used in the Act of
Parliament. In the Val:[Valuation]
Roll of Ross-shire for
1868. 9. the farm house
is given "Wester Ord"
and in the Val [Valuation] Roll
1875. 6 "Inverbreakie"
