Does anyone know where Druinach is, or could it be a transcription error?

Hi

Using an address search, it suggests it's in Polbain (in the Coigach/Achiltibuie area). Not sure though. Have you tried stepping through next household, etc.?

I see that one of the households with Druinach as an address were Frasers. To my knowledge, the Frasers were tenants at the west end of the  Polbain township.

I've just done that, but I'm still none the wiser  :-\

The previous household is Drumruni.
The household after the one I was asking about is also Druinach, and the one after is Glasslich.

It's Frasers that I'm looking at - and trying to find a link to my Mackenzies from Rireabhach.
It's just soooooooooo complicated  ::)  ::)  ::)
