Another way to find Allachie (and many other places) is to look for it on the GENUKI Gazetteer. There are links to this resource from many different places, but you can always reach it at: www.genuki.org.uk/big/Gazetteer/ The readout gives the name of the county and the parish, and the OS grid reference, and each of these bits of data is also a hyperlink to further data. The OS grid reference link will take you to the precise location in Old-maps, Multimap and Streetmap, without having to fiddle with coordinates or postcodes. Gavin Bell
