I had a look at the map but couldn't find blair hall, question now being is it a place name or was it a house? I know the previous generation,Longforgan was given as place of birth.

hope this helps

Looking for information about Blaise Hall, Parish of Liff, Forfarshire, where a number of my Ogilvie forebears were born and/or married. It has been suggested that perhaps I misread the hand-written family documents which I've inherited, and the name may be 'Blaire' or ';Blaine'. Would anyone have further information about this place, it's location and/or history?
please and thank you.
