Glenvorn?

[BushInn1746]

I believe you are spot on with that double fronted Cottage with two roof dormer windows and small central skylight!

A great angle Forfarian from the hill and acknowledged your earlier link / post.

If the original Poster has missed the other maps, pm me your email, Mark

Glenvarren looks quite probable.

See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2146378

However Glenvarren Cottage is shown on the second edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map


The only mention of Glenvarren in the Name Books is Glenvarren Sike, which is the burn that flows north-eastwards to enter the Mosspaul Burn near Fiddleton Bankhead.

So I think it is likely that your folk lived in a farm or croft near Glenvarren Sike.

Forfarian,

Interesting the Name book image lists Glenvarren Sike (a stream), Fiddleton Bank End and Fiddleton Wood on the same page.

Yes, I saw that too, and noted that there was no mention of a building called Glenvarren anything.
