    1. [RossGen] old maps
    2. I have replied direct to Theresa Knapp re her queries on Meikle Ferry and Ferryton as I did not wish to clutter the List with matters of probably no interest to everyone. However, part of my response may be of general interest. If you wish to see a modern map of any area in Ross-shire (or anyplace else in Scotland or Great Britain), have a look at www.ordinancesurvey.co.uk If you have the postcode, you will get to your destination very quickly - but without that, you will still find it by a narrowing down process. A link will take you to Historical Map for an old map of Ross & Cromarty (or wherever). Again, if you have the modern day postcode, you will get to your point of interest quickly. But use of the"County Gazeteer" will take you there by a slower route. Once you are at your area, you can "recentre" and zoom in and out as much as necessary. If you are not really interested in the modern mapping, you can do a bit of shortening by going direct to www.old-maps.co.uk Lawrence Allan Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland
