It has helped me dig a little deeper in my search. I am now searching for some small towns and small communties on old Arran maps but have not come up with anything concrete yet. Do you happen to have an old map showing the folowing communities? One place is Mill Sands or Mill Hill mentioned in the 1841 Census ( between Penrioch or Clackering). I think I found Penrioch but cannot find Clackering. Also, #720 on the same census mentioned there was a school house and I would like to find out where it is located on the map and how close it is to Lochranza and Mill Sands? Next, I have been searching for a town called Barrnakin. I found a place called Ballykine. Could that be the same place? Also, 2 other places I have been trying to locate are - Narrachan and Soncil. Thank you fro your past assistance. As Always, it is much appreciated. Regards, June
I have the ordnance survey of Scotland surveyed 1874 1"=1mile Narachan 1 r is 1/2 mile south of Loch Ranza which looks like the surveyor is calling the sea inlet. No dot for town but church,smitty, the lodge, Fort. Could this be the castle & or a new town Lochranza.
