Following on from the last two posts, here’s an updated list of the main places in Auchterless associated with the Robbs in the 18th century records. It shows that, during the first half of the century, they were based at Mains of Badenscoth and other properties in that area (perhaps all belonging to the laird of Badenscoth), whereas from the mid-century onward Logie Newton becomes the main base for the family.
