I think the main settlement is North Erradale but not sure of ? house name yet.

I think I've found the family of John Bain in 1871, at Lot 1, Gairloch. The two younger children were born North Erradale.


John Bain, 52,crofter, b. Sand
Catherine, 56, b. R & C
Ann, d. 26, general servant, b. Sand
Margaret d, 18, b. North Erradale
Angus, s, 14, b. North Erradale

I've search the old maps for a place in the North Erradale area but nothing resembling the writing so it might be just Resting at or Residing at North Erradale.

I'd be inclined to doubt that there were individual house names in North Erradale in 1869. There are none on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map.

Or even on the 25-inch map surveyed in 1902

This land has been squared into crofts, a great deal of work, they will have had names or even numbers as per the rental, including the acreage of each.
