Muir Of Ord. Which District Does This Come Under?

[Forfarian]

Will your bike get you that far?

It would if I started from Muir of Ord ...

Don - here's the Google route down Corry Road, starting at the Muir of Ord end - any chance of you doing a little walk down and telling us where it is?

(I could ask my old friends on the West Coast to check when they next go over to Dingwall, Beauly or Inverness)

I'm already there...Croftallen still stands, white house 200 yards west of the Old Arms Hotel.  Everything else around there seems to be newish.

So it's to the right of the main road not the left

Do you mean Ord rather than Old?

From what DougD says it must be more than 200 yards from the Ord Arms Hotel.

Yes - he said left after the railway bridge and he meant right - The Ord Arms is just down that road on the right and Croft Allan is on my last link

Correct, the A862 north.

And ditto correct Ord.

Is there a chance this is (at least the old section) the original inn and croft?

I'm off to do some gardening.

I don't think that it would have been called Ardnagrask Inn if it were on the Great North Road. Ardnagrask is evidently south-west of the railway bridge, not north-west.

Unless Alexander and family moved from Croftnabuil to Ardnagrask Inn some time between 1851 and 1861. It's all very confusing!
