Tighphealie
« on: Wednesday 23 November 16 07:53 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone heard of Tighphealie or Tighwealie somewhere near Avoch Scotland around 1790? I have a great great great great grandfather Thomas Logan mentioned as a labourer here. I'm visiting Scotland in June next year and would love to visit the place.

Welcome to rootschat Suzynoo.

Can you let us know the context please? If it was written in a document can you provide a snip of it? If it was from a transcription have you seen the original?

Thanks very much for the info,  :) I will follow that up. Later in life he is noted as a farmer at Blairfoid so I can see I'm looking in the correct general area. The origin of the notes and spelling is unknown.

There's a place called Tighnafiline, by Aultbea in Wester Ross? but also an Arpafeelie between N.Kessock & Tore on the Black Isle.

The place-name Tighnafeelie has been carried to New Zealand but where's the original & genuine?

Assuming this is the same Avoch, there is contact info near the bottom of the left side in this link. They may be able to help.

Not sure if this will help but TIGH is gaelic for House/Croft so may have been the name of a Croft rather than a place?

Good thought. It might help if we knew the context (where the word appeared) and maybe a bit more background about the family.

Skoosh's Tighnafiline sounds fairly similar.
