Wonderful location based on the photos on the Wilderness Cottages website, if difficult to find ;D

It's possibly easier to find using this link  http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/282859/details/toberaie/  and following the map link on the page

It is at NJ 06351 18164. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/nj0618

It's also on the  1843-1882 Six-inch map Ordnance Survey and the 1892-1905 Six-inch Ordnance Survey map http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=57.24317&lon=-3.54948

If you get that on screen you can then select all the different maps using the 'Select a map group' option on the menu bar on the left.



Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

In dead of winter when there's a foot of snow on the access track and there's a power cut? No thanks! :)

Yes, I love cold weather, and it would make a nice change for me. :)

I see you live in Australia. Cold weather is great when it's clear and sunny. Being trapped in the house by snowdrifts, gales and floods (though I doubt that Toberaie would be much troubled by flooding, as it's well up a hillside) for days or weeks on end is no fun, believe me. I've been there, and the novelty soon wears off. And the occupants of Toberaie in the 18th and 19th centuries would have had no electricity at the touch of a switch. They'd have had to rely on firewood for heating and candles, probably tallow ones, for lighting. Compared to our modern living standards it would have been cold and bleak and pretty lacking in comfort.
