Catherine, Would the place you are looking for be Foss? Foss is located on the southwest side of Loch Tummel. It is about 10km northnorthwest of Dull via the B-846 roadway through the Strath of Appin. Old handwriting would show the double 's' in Foss as 'fs' Bill Dow, Carrollton, Texas, USA ----- Original Message ----- From: <nomdeplume@shaw.ca> To: <PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 11:47 PM Subject: [PERTH] Tofs, Fofs > I've been spending a lot of time trolling through the OPR's of Dull and have realized that the place I thought was Top is really Tofs or Fofs. Not sure of the writing in the late 1700's. I also managed to get the 1783 map of Perthshire for that area and found the place near Loch Tumel. > > Can anyone give me any idea of the correct spelling and pronunciation? > > Thanks, Catherine > Victoria, BC Canada > > Is it as rainy in Scotland as it is here on Vancouver Island?
