John had rheumatic fever when Young. In search of a better climate the family moved to Kilfinan in Argylshire on the west coast of Scotland. At Kilfinan John was gameKeeper at Otter House. In 1907 the family moved to Arbroath and then to a
small fruit farm at Blairgowrie called Aspen Park.

In the 1881 census Aspen Park was a six acre strawberry farm. It was occpied under feudal tenure by John K Brown & family.

Feu:
Land or-property owned and possessed by a person known as Feuar or Vassal who holds it on Feudal tenure. The property owner is constrained by certain requirements, such as having to pay Feuduty sometimes to the Superior, the person who owns the
"Superiority" of the Feu. However, a Feu is not regarded as being equivalent to a leasehold interest in English land law, and is treated like a freehold for VAT purposes.

Feuar: Person who holds land under a feu.

Feudal system:
The scheme of land tenure in Scotland by which an area of land or feu is held by a feuar (sometimes known as a vassal) from a superior for a fixed annual payment of a sum of money (known as feuduty) following an initial payment. In strict feudal
theory, the Sovereign is the universal landowner. All other landowners hold their feus from the Sovereign. In Scotland sub infeudation is possible (it has been unlawful in England since the 13th century). Accordingly it is possible for a vassal
who actually lives on the feu to hold of a superior which superior is in fact another person's vassal. The feudal system creates a chain or pyramid with the Sovereign as ultimate owner at the top and the intermediate positions being taken by the
Sovereign's vassals who are ipso facto superior to those further down the chain, or at the base of the pyramid.

The feuar has all the rights of an owner subject however to the burdens or conditions imposed by the superior. Originally the burdens might require the vassal to perform personal services, such as military service or other forms of feudal duty, o
