Hi all Just input maps.nls.uk/view/74426491 into the search and, yes, Haddoleys is just above Rams Well in the bottom right-hand corner.

Nowadays its best known feature is Troup Head, home to a considerable colony of gannets. The Tore of Troup is a deep, wooded valley running north-south to the sea, through which runs the Tore Burn, marking the county boundary between Banffshire and Aberdeenshire. Haddoleys isn't marked on the most detailed OS map of the area, but you can find it on 19th C OS maps. Don't know if this link to the NLS map will work: http://maps.nls.uk/view/74426491. Its position is shown as slightly north of the Ram's Well, near the southern end of the valley.

Sorry not to answer your queries sooner. Very little details of Haddoleys in the Troup archives, though I know the Haddoleys area well, There are lots of old stone sights on the Tore Hill of Troup. I am sad to say there is nothing left, cows & sheep have been grazing on Haddoleys for a hundred years. If you want a photo where the farm used to be and a copy of the 1854 Estate map of Troup showing Haddoleys I would be delighted to send direct to you as an attachment.
