I think the place you are looking for is TILLYFASS (written on the OPR as Tolefass). You can locate Tillyfass to the west, and slightly north of Aberchirder - prob about 5 miles or there abouts - on a line between Aberchirder and the Barry Hill.

Happy Hunting

Hi Bill

I think the link to the map I gave above shows this.

Thanks for all the help folks.

So, have I got this right? Tillyfar is to the east of Aberchirder. Thanks to Gadget's link, I found Tillyfar.

Tillyfass is to the west and slightly north? I can't find it!!  ::)

I've been pootling about with the map since I got in 40 mins ago, and I still can't locate the place!! And I think you're right, Bill. Looking at the OPR, it certainly looks as if it could very well be Tillyfass (what a lovely name!) if only I could find it!  :-[ :-[

Hi Jill

Can't find it on Multimap but here is Barry Hill:

If you move right and down around that area, it should be there  ???

Here is the map link - http://www.nls.uk:8080/StyleServer/calcrgn?cat=Maps&item=/74400837.sid&style=maps.xsl&wid=700&hei=500&browser=win_ie&plugin=false#    It requires lots of zooming and moving around, but once you find Aberchirder place it to far right centre, and search roughly W by WNW to Barry Hill. It is actually there as North Tillyfass.

Hope this gets you there

Sorry Bill - don't wish to sound ungrateful but I couldn't read anything on that map.

I've decided to accept that it's Tillyfass and that it's obviously in the right neck of the woods and give up trying to actually find it.

Thanks for all your help - and Gadget too.

Found it  ;D

Locate Banffshire - pan in to Aberchirder - pan left to find Barr Hill and there it is North Tillyfaff(ss)
