• Photos » Slide Show		Hoardweel Farm, Berwickshire, Scotland The sign at the entrance to Hoardweel Farm on the A6112 road. Agnes Moffat (513, 1819) and Margaret Moffat (514, born 1821) were born here to George Moffat (32) and Isabella Clark (33), so it is presumed that George and Isabella and their first son Alexander (born 1818 at Coppermine) lived here during this time. Their 4th child Elisabeth was born at Blakerstone in 1825. Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen visited this farm 22 June 2000.

  		View of Hoardweel Farm taken from very near the sign on the road. George Moffat and Isabel Clark presumably lived here from about 1819 to 1825 when two of their children (Agnes, born 1819) and Margaret (born 1821) were born here.
  		Hoardweel Farm, Berwickshire, Scotland Some of the buildings and the farm house of present day Hoardweel Farm. George Moffat presumably worked here in the 1820 - 1825 time period where two of his children Agnes (1819) and Margaret (1821) were born. Visited by Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen 21 June 2000.
  		Sign at one entrance to Blakerston Farm. Blakerston Farm is part of St Bathans Estates - a 6000 acre farm originally owned by the Turnbull Family. Now it is a "game farm" raising about 80,000 pheasants each year for release in Britain and Europe for game hunting. William (1825), Elisabeth (1829) and George (1831) Moffat were born here to George Moffat and Isabella Clark, presumably while George and/or Isabella worked on Blakerston Farm. Visited by Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen 21 June 2000.
  		Descriptive sign at Abbey St Bathans This sign shows the locations of the Blakerston Farm, the Retreat House, and Abbey St Bathans church. George Moffat and Isabella Clark had 3 children - William, Elisabeth and George, born at Blakerston Farm.
  		View of Blakerston Farm on the way to the Game Keeper's Cottage. Photo taken on the drive in from the road to the farm buildings and game keeper's cottage. Visited by Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen 21 June 2000.
  		Blakerston Farm Gamekeeper Cottage This cottage on Blakerston Farm is used by the head game keeper. He is the one responsible for raising 100,000 pheasants from 150,000 pheasant eggs each year. Visited by Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen 21 June 2000.
  		St Bathans Church. This church on the St Bathans properties may have been the church attended by George Moffat and his family in the 1820s. The house visible in the distance was "the Laird's House".
