Notes

It's not clear whether the land for this estate had previously been named True Blue. When the True Blue Gang were broken up, part of them were settled on Strathnavar in the ownership of William Robertson. A group of 71 enslaved people were moved to Strathnavar from Montpelier around the same time.
