    JEROME TULLOCH, belonged to a family who held considerable property in the Orkneys after the Reformation. He was sub-chantor in the un-Reformed Church, and conformed in 1560 or soon afterwards. He had charge (with readers) of a wide district which included Sandwick, Rousay, Egilsay, Wyre, and Enhallow.
