You will be offered two choices. Chose no.2 Nairnshire, then click on Enlarged view. When you look around this enlarged map, you will see both Glenferness House and Drumore. You can reposition the area of interest in the maps by clicking on the area which you wish to be at the centre of the view, or zoom in and out of the modern map, so hat you can get a better idea of the setting of these places.
