Ross & Cromarty Shire, Scotland ??

Just a guess!   Maybe not as I can see you have the Cromarty bit.    I thought Ross & Cromarty sort of went together!   ;)

This was prior to the area being known as Ross & Cromarty.
We have Cromarty with Shire written beneath it - Scotland to the right of the word Cromarty. The word we can't read is the word to the left of Cromarty.....
Help please.

Can't find a place name which resembles this, could it be the name of a Farm?

What was his occupation?

Ross-shire and Cromarty-shire merged in 1891.

ScotlandsPlaces http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/ has a reference to Alexander Anderson Esq. of The Lands of Udoll, or Udale in Cromartyshire.

Try the old maps on the National Library of Scotland's website.

Good find Isabel,

Could have been Udale Farm?

Udale appears on this map, to the south of the Cromarty Firth.
