Death place looks more like Strathxxx something.

Could it be STRATHNAVER?

Added: I think I am looking at the wrong page! Is it the place name on the second page of the register?

It's still on the map https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NC6330 and the satellite view shows a house, but no idea if it's habitable, let alone inhabited.

Alltalaird looks to be just around 5 miles south of Strathnaver.

The Loch Choire Estate came up for sale c. 2015. Off the grid it is, Don...but pretty stunning scenery isn't it https://media.onthemarket.com/properties/1685455/doc_1_3.pdf
