Wayne As you suspected, this is an example of the all too common very poor reading of place names. The Census entry actually has Glenscattle as Flora Cameron's birthplace. (You should report this to ancestry.com) This is Glen Scaddle which is just a few miles south of Trislaig. If you have identified Trislaig on the map you should be able to find Inverscaddle to the south where you will see that two rivers, the Scaddle and the Cona, join just before they reach the sea.? Glen Scaddle is of course not an exact address and there are several house in this glen. You will have seen from Flora Beaton/Cameron's death certificate in 1868 that her father was a shepherd which means that they might have lived at any of the points in the glen where there were houses. If you want to see the entry for yourself? try www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (There is a charge.) Look up Flora Cameron in Argyllshire Kilmallie parish. the one you want has the reference 520/22/20.

Sorry, Frank. Some of us who had the time to volunteer on this project just did not have your experience with these names. But, believe me, We did the best we could. You are correct, whenever an error can be corrected it certainly should be. I just don't think the derogatory remarks are called for.

Maybe an index or dictionary of place names and Scottish surnames might come in handy with the mis-spelling that occurs on different websites.
