Hello all
If we assume that the "Highway leading to the Harbour" (as seen on the OS Six inch map 1843-1882) is now known as the B7004, then there is a row of houses on the South side of the road that are likely candidates for the first property on what would have been Buyoch land. Given the description of it being bounded on the East by a house and the West by a yard it seems likely that it is the house on the NW end of the row now known as Number 1/ Bowling Green House. It would be worth trying to verify/ disprove this theory with documentary evidence of some kind.
