On the current OS map as Rhynaclach just north of the A873 about two miles east of Port of Menteith.  I used Streetmap.  Co-ordinates appear to be Lat  N56:11:16  Long W4:14:32.  Map co-ordinates which will help are 260951,701737

Looking at the enumerator's 'walk' on the 1881 census, this would appear to be the right vicinity. After Rinaclach comes Rednock Mill.

Thanks for that Nell, with the correct spelling you gave me Rhynaclach was able to Google, and have now the address of the present owners..will write to them via snail mail and see if I can get photo's if possible ..wonder if there is a general history of the farm ?? now wouldn't that be something.
Once again thank you..patvp

Hi Patvp1
I'm Murray McKay I had my dna tested with ancestry .com and am related to a Mackay branch .that are associated with Rinaclach farm.
This branch live in America.They are descended from Peter Mackay 1837 -1912 who was the son of Alex Mackay and Margaret Mclaren
I have traced my branch back to William Mackay 1815 -1851 he was a soldier with the 94th (scotch brigade) regiment.He died in India.
His wife remarried and the family stayed in India .His sons were all boy soldiers / bands men with the 74th Highlanders.
The eventually settled back in Scotland in the 1870/80's.
I still haven't found the link between our branches yet.
All the best
Murray McKay
