Dear L&M,
Well, Tombae is certainly one of the family crofts in Glenlivet but it can be notoriously difficult to be certain one has the proper line in this area, because of so few names in a Glen of 1800 people.
I'm VERY interested in your details and heres some from me.

"My great Grandfather was Alexander Grant who, in 1883, married Margaret
Stuart of Auchnascraw. The family (3 sons, Alexander, James and John) left
Glenlivet in 1907 and emigrated to North Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada.

Parents of Alexander (the 5th of twelve children) were Alexander
Grant(b1804 - d. 10th March 1886, 3:30pm, Corunack,
Glenlivat) and Ann Stuart (b.1829, Abernethy, Invernesshire - d.26th Dec
1902, 5am, Westerclova, Kildrummy).

On Margarets side, parents are, James Stuart (b abt 1805 --- d.29th Oct
1869, 7:30pm, Mill of Auchnascraw) and Elspet Grant (b abt 1810 --- d.31 May
1882, 6am, Mill of Achnascraw,
Glenlivat). Elspet Grant was widowed previous to marrying James Stuart and
brought three young children to the second marriage. Her first husband was
Charles Stuart who died before 1842.

Further Generations:
Alexander Grant (1804 - 1886).
His parents were Duncan Grant (who came to the Braes of Glenlivet from
Abernethy) and Mary White (b.abt 1769 - d. 24 Jan 1850)
Ann Stuart (1829 - 1902).
Her parents were James Stuart & Barbara Grant
James Stuart(1805 - 1869)
His parents were John Stuart & Janet Stuart
Elspet Grant (1810 - 1882)
Her parents were Alexander Grant (Who also came from the Braes of Abernethy)
and Margaret White.
It is possible that Alex & Duncan Grant were brothers and that they married
sisters in the two White girls.
Margaret White died early (after bearing at least one child) and Alexander
married again, to Margaret Grant with whom he raised a fair sized family.

Holdings in Glenlivat associated with the family are:
Corunack.
Auchnascraw,
Clinkhard,
Ladderfoot;
Also, I've been told that at least some of the family used the alias Bouie"
