Where was Atinlia/Attinlia in Moray?
« on: Sunday 04 February 18 15:37 GMT (UK) »
The register for Duthil & Rothiemurchus states at baptisms 1800 & 1807 that the father was of Atinlia/Attinlia. I can find no reference to this place.  Was it just a farm maybe?  Can anyone help please?

Check that the word doesn't actually start with Alt... That indicates a burn and is a common beginning of place-names.

Very definitely At, once with a single t & once with 2. Very clear hand writing.  I think it has to be a property name

Here's Duthil in 1890s

not mapped at 1:2500 at that time

ADDED: I can see Achtateang  ??? not sure how it would be pronounced. At[t]inlia may have been a parish clerk's phonetic interpretation of the placename.

Perhaps Aitenlica which was a farm east of there.

It could have been a croft or just a single house. Can you post a copy of it here please?

It isn't listed in the chapter on Duthil in Donald Matheson's 'Place Names of Elginshire', and unless I have missed the reference it isn't mentioned in either the Statistical Account or Lachlan Shaw's 'History of the Province of Moray'.
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.

There's a Lagganlia, in Alvie parish, neighbour of Rothiemurchus.

Skoosh.


Aittenlia, found it, it's in the valley of the Dulnain, just by the river & between Caggan, a bothy named Eile & Dalnahiatnich.
Caggan was a bothy & Dalnahaitnach a derelict croft. Aittenlia will just be a pile of stones now. Used to know the upper part of that glen well. Divided between several Speyside estates with roads over the hills, north to the Dulnain. Could be Kinrara  estate so originally part of the Duke of Gordon's vast territories which were split up & sold off. A very wild place, nobody lives up there, the last wolf in Scotlad was killed therraboots!
PS, there were several "Last Wolves!"
