Is Dochpollo near Dingwall?

Corrieshalloch....oh do stop, Gadget, you're making me feel homesick....
Those years in the Highlands were the best years of my life.

Gadget, I can't remember exactly where the parking spot and vegetarian pie van were.  But if they were on the other side of the road, no doubt traffic was lighter then (I've checked - it was May 1993).
 
PaulaToo, If that's the effect of two words resulting from my description, I do wonder what effect the photos on the link I posted have on you

My goodness, I can almost smell the peat from here.
Lovely memories come flooding back, not only of Corrieshalloch, but Applecross, and Inverewe, created by Sir Osgood Mackenzie.
And of course, 'that castle' dinky little Eilean Donan, which is just exactly what a Highland castle should look like.
A lovely site, with lovely memories.

Oh yes, and no midges.....

I see that you are interested in the Bethune/Beaton line on the Heights.  My Gt x 4 grandfather James Wemyss (1777-c.1854) married Helen Bethune (a.k.a. Alice/Elsie Beaton) (1788-c.1850).  Any connection to you?

I'm coming a little late to this party but just found the reference to Wemyss/Bethune after a Google search!  My Wemyss line comes from Fodderty and although I cannot at present prove a direct link to your 4xggrandfather, Scraggi, all the Wemysses in that area seem to me to be related to each other, including the ones who like mine strayed over the parish line into Dingwall.  Having been there once or twice myself it looks relatively easy to do!
I'd be happy to compare notes with you.

Glen Dochcarty is in the west, Docharty itself is immediately north of Dingwall and Pollo is a property on the Cromarty Firth, east of Invergordon. This would have been Davochpollo, a davoch being a piece of land.

Skoosh.

I found Brea on a map it adjacent to Davochmalaug (Dochmaloug) to the east. If Brea was once Davochpollo then it is here https://maps.nls.uk/view/228780196. Look for the village of Fodderty, then Dochmalaug is just to the north east. Hope This helps!
