Tighphealie

Ruskie,

Yes, the one from Skoosh is very promising but was just a thought it may be a Croft in that area (with a possible similar spelling)?

And yes, more info. would definitely 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?

. Knowledge of the Welsh language and other Celtic language can often help as TY. In Welsh is house

There's a place called Tighnafiline, by Aultbea in Wester Ross?

Used to fish at Aultbea in my youth for haddies in Loch Ewe! great memories too.

 Unless these are west-coast folk who've moved to the Black Isle (as many did) the answer might be a rickle o stanes somewhere near Avoch so contacting the Auchie website looks a good bet.

Skoosh.

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.

Hospitality? Kilt?

If it helps, in the document that Suzynoo posted, the baptism of Thomas Bain that James Logan witnessed in 1791 (while he and the child's parents were living at Tighphealie) was at  Knockbain, Ross and Cromarty

Not having much luck locating 'Tighphealie', however I found this (soundex);

Arpafeelie; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_listed_buildings_in_Knockbain,_Highland

Can be located here;

Could 'Tighnafeelie/phealie' have been a house within the Church grounds or close surrounding area?

This site may be of help?
