Help translating place of death

[my-irish-family]

Hi there,

I have the following death record for a John Stewart, dying on 1st September 1918.  However, I just cannot identify the place name in Inverurie where he died.  The death was due to internal haemorraghing as the result of an accident, so I am wondering if it was where he worked?  He was a farm servant. His residence at the time of his death was 78 North Street, which he had lived in for quite some time.

I have looked at it for so long and tried so many variations, some fresh eyes would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

The only thing that I am coming up with is "Ardtannes" which is/was just West of Port Elphinstone, which could relate to Inverurie Hospital, considering he died of injuries due to an accident.

Hi Malky,

thank you!  I think you may be right.  I checked Ardtannes and found the following on Scotlandplaces.gov:

A substantial farmsteading with offices and garden attached; property of the Right Hon. [Honourable] the Earl of Kintore. A Corn and Barley Mill is attached to this farmsteading, to which the inhabitants of the Burgh of Inverury are bound to bring their grain for grinding.

I think he may have died while at work as a farm servant. One does wonder what the accident may have been, how sad for him!

Thanks again
