Title: Delachule or Delashule - same place or not?
Post by: Indiana.59 on Wednesday 11 January 17 16:23 GMT (UK)
Does anyone know if Delachule and Delashule are the same place in Tomintoul - Banffshire - as I am sure I found Delashule somewhere that was somewhere quite close to Delachule  - now lost in memory - Delachule comes under many old spellings - Delashule not being one of them - any ideas any one - many thanks in advance xxx

It will be the same place. Spelling was not a fixed quantity until the 20th century and it's extremely common to find several variant spellings of the same place.
