Hi Sho,

It was interesting to see that discussion... which they never seemed to clarify. Unfortunately they didn't have the advice I got from Steeve and Skoosh here! I do have it quite clear by now where Doire Na Furan was located.

Cheers,

Hi Skoosh,

The village dissappeared with the clearences. It was definitely located on the north shore of Upper Loch Torridon, between Inverralligin and Rechulin (or Torridon House).

Actually in the map you recommended me, you can put the pointer on that area and move it until it gives you latitude 57.552618N. Sorry that I cannot be more precise :D

Cheers,

Doire na Fuaran was an enclosed area below Slugach immediately east of Fasag or Fassaig and part of Torrodon. They were stone and turfed walled, thatched roofed houses. Folk were cleared to Fasag, Annat or Alligin for sheep after 1871 census, Anglicised to Derry and in 1881 census some folk recorded on Derry Road and Derry no longer in 1891 census.
Great information on these two links especially the National Trust report:
