It looks a bit like Seillochan or Seil lochan but can't find it on the map so far.

Hello Gadget,

Could it be Salachill, or is that too far away ?

Enlarged it and compared with other letters but nearest I can get is Sallachan/Sallachar

Wow Sallachan is past Glen Coe, I suppose that his father could have come from there, wondering how to find out now. The birth was dated 1771.

Thank you Gadget

Hello Again,

Looking on A at the 1841 cenus I have found a James Campbell born 1754, born Perthshire, Civil Parish Killin, address W Sullichean..........would this fit ? Don't seem to be able to find it on a map though.

It could be the way it was transcribed. I'd say that both would be pronounced similarly - I've just said them both allowed  :)

I'll have a look at the maps of Killin.

The 1841  transcription that I've looked at has it as Tullichean

Which site did you find it on ?
