The Colony is just small in the lower left. Click on map to see a larger version. I’ve lost the source for this map–possibly New Brunswick Archives. Some tracts are labeled: “Granted 1874” and some others: “To be granted 1875” Continue reading
Tintypes were made with the image mirror-reversed.
This is the un-mirror-reversed version. This is the way the buildings would have appeared in real life.
This unidentified tintype photograph was found in the old William Duncan and Elizabeth Linton home in Washburn, Maine. If it is a Scotch Colony home, possible families could be Duncan, Cocker, Wilson, or Chapman. The lay of the land appears to be very flat which suggests Bon Accord (was Stonehaven) in Colony. Margaret Rheinlander Chapman was the owner when the photo was copied in the 1990’s. She thought it was the Sheriffs’ place. Any suggestions?
Update 21Jul2012: Tintypes are mirror-reversed images.

Local copy of the image from NB Archives. To save you the trouble of downloading from their site.
Wm Duncan & Elizabeth Linton homestead site in Scotch Colony overlaid with old log cabin photo from NB Archives. This is on the present day (2010) Bon Accord road in Kincardine, NB. Click on image to see animation. This is just conjecture about the location of the log cabin but gosh the topography is a close match. This is a big file so wait for it to load to see the animation.
This map belonged to Melvin Barclay when it was photographed in the 1980s(?)- Does anyone know the year the map was made or who drew it?

Pioneers, Ploughs, and Politics: New Brunswick Planned Settlements a special online exhibit at the NB Provicial Archives.
…with reports of directors regarding situation, soil, climate, &c, &c., and a statement of conditions concerning free houses, free grants of land, and assisted passages, an online book at Archive.org website (26 pages). The author, Captain William Brown, worked for the Anchor Steamship Line which transported the Scotch colonists to New Brunswick in 1873. Captain Brown was instrumental in the founding New Kincardineshire, now known as the Scotch Colony. This document is a very interesting if overly-rosy snapshot of life in the Perth-Andover area just before the founding of the colony. I would describe it as a sales brochure.
