Where is Baulchry?

[meanno]

The thread on Aultnaleard reminds me that I am trying to resolve a pronunciation issue in my own research.
I have a John Mackenzie and Elizabeth Munro living on Braetongue in the 1830's and there is a marriage in Auchatraharn (Allt Ach an t-Srathain) in 1795 which I believe could be theirs with John being the son of George Mackenzie, tenant in "Achtraan", presumably just another spelling.

In the Tongue Session Records in a list of Heads of Families for 1834 there is a John Mckenzie "late Baulchry."

If one travels up the valley of the "Allt Ach an t-Srathain" you get to the:
"Bealach na Creige Riabhaich".

Is it possible that "Baulchry" is an English abbreviation of "Bealach na Creige Riabhaich"?
I have a hard photocopy of the Session Record and the full stop after Baulchry. is very clear and perhaps indicates an abbreviation.

Hi, I'm new to this forum so apologies if I'm entering an already concluded line of research. My 4x grandparents were John Mackenzie and Elizabeth Munro living together in Braetongue around the 1830's. I noticed that John has a possible place name, Baulchry, beside his 1834 Roll of Male Heads record. I have been unable to track this location and just found your question on the same location. Have you been able to get any further since your 2021 question?

No I haven't got any further on the Baulchry issue but delighted to hear from you as John Mackenzie and Elizabeth Munro were also my 4xgrandparents! Who were your 3x? Mine were Robert Mackenzie and Johan Mackay.
Will be very pleased to hear more of your research.

You actually think I typed it like that?  It was copied from Scotlandplaces. My apologies. I have seen many, many other examples here of pasting text from SP that is capitalized.

Are you saying it is forbidden/discouraged to copy and paste text from SP that is in original form?

In any regard you put me in my place. I get it.
