BULT or BOLT of Shetland, Scotland 1622
The family of BULT or BoLT appears to have been of native origin in Shetland. William Bult in Sistay, Bressay, Shetland died in December 1622, leaving Grissell Smith, his relict and Katherine and Agness, his daughters.
The Bolts possessed the lands of Beosetter, in Bressay, and in 1703 the 1.5 merks land there was disponed by Magnus Bolt to William Henderson of Gardie. The principal family of the name was, however, the Bolts of Crocksetter, or Cruister, also in the island of Bressay.
Can anyone throw any light on the subject.
