I took a while to find it i.e. I can't give you precise location, sorry!

It looks like Fishertown is a good possibility.  Here is a larger excerpt so you can better compare handwriting.

You will find a lot of places where they were e.g. Fishertown/Fisherton/Fishertoun through time as the spellings can vary for the same place names.

May I add, the era for the area you find on a map may differ to how the scribe wrote it down i.e. you need an open mind with the evidence you have.

I can see the problem with the M but the rest looks like "aviston" to me. I don't read "Fisherton".  Fisherton is about a mile west of Inverness Airport and was in Petty parish rather than Auldearn  parish. Hope that helps rather than confuses.

Agree with you again, Imber. It's definitely ?aviston and in Auldearn parish - the captial letters on the page vary but I don't see it as an F. I'm still going with Maviston.

(I checked the wills in case there was some info there but nothing for him)
