According to a letter, my ggg grandfather was born "at Beauly in Rosshire." Is Beauly a place name/town? I am not familiar with the word. The letter says my ggg grandmother was born "at Tendulloch by Beauly in Invernesshire, just about a mile from Beauly in Rosshire." Could it be a place near the county border? The ggg grandfather was buried at the "cemetery on the Hill Of Orde In Rosshire." Is this a place name or is it a description of the land?

Hello Sue, Beauly (pronounced like Julie but with a B), is a small town just outside the city of Inverness, 2-3 miles to the west. I am not familiar with the Hill of Orde, but there is a town called Muir of Ord just to the north of Beauly, so I'd guess it was near there.
