Can anyone help? Thanks. Breedless Farm (a slightly unfortunate name for a farm!!) is on the left side of the River Deveron about 5 miles south-ish of Banff. Easter Breidlees is listed separately from Breidlees in the 1871 census, but it's not on the Landranger map. However Easter Breedless is named on the Explorer map, so if you go to www.streetmap.co.uk and search for OS Grid 370500,856500, then zoom in to a slightly larger scale using the row of little 'house' symbols at lower right, the arrow should just about be on Easter Breedless. In case you have a problem, it's the little pink rectangle right on the 80m contour line north of Hansdale and south-east of Breedless Farm, on the south of the burn. The other pink rectangle north of the burn is Breedless Croft.
