Cromdale Kirk is indeed in the Cromdale part of Cromdale Inverallan and Advie. It is about a mile from the village of Cromdale, right beside the bridge over the Spey. Inverallan Kirk (ruins of) is about a mile south of Grantown, on the right bank of the Spey. Grantown Kirk is in Mossie Road, Grantown, about a block north-west of the Square. However it was opened as recently as 1886, so would not have been used by any ancestors earlier than that (nothing like stating the obvious!) Advie Old Parish Kirk is apparently by the former railway line about a mile north of Mains of Advie. The present Advie Kirk is about a mile west of Mains of Advie, where the road forks, the main road going on to Ballindalloch/Aberlour/Elgin and the minor road to Advie Bridge. I found all these by going to www.rcahms.gov.uk and using the CANMORE system. There is lots more information about all of these sites there, and about churches of other denominations in the same area. If you want to see where they all are on the map, go to www.streetmap.co.uk and input the grid references listed below, selecting 'Landranger'. You will need to use the re-size option at bottom left once the map comes up - click on the third 'house' symbol from left to get the best scale for the job. Cromdale Kirk NJ066289 Inverallan Kirk NJ126260 Grantown Kirk NJ031280 Advie Old Kirk NJ141352 Advie Kirk NJ126342 When you get here, I recommend you to buy either Landranger map sheets 28 and 36, or Explorer sheets 418 and 419. They cost about GBP6 each. The Explorer is more detailed but you need more of them to cover a given area. HTH Anne
