About MeAn orra-man and his junior namesake, the orra-loon, worked on Scottish estates as a jack-of-all-trades, (it is a north east term) helping with ploughing, care of cattle and sheep and general farming duties. This Orra man worked on Joseph Farquharson's family estate of Finzean in Feuchside.More About Me
