Hello,
I have a birth record for one of my ancestors born at a place called Rinirich or maybe Riniwich, Abernethy & Kincardine in 1740. Can anyone help in finding this place/location. There possibly could be other name variations.

Can you post a clip of the record so we can see the name for ourselves?

"Between
the Cromalt and the Nethy, the roofless house of Inchtomach
stands, sad and solitary, on its sunny knoll, bearing witness, like
Rinuigh, Rinirich, Rivoan, and other abandoned homesteads, to
the days that are gone. "

Isn't that a magnificent piece of text!
The deep strength of those words. It reads like some ancient saga.

From which basic language or dialect or tongue might these R-words originate from, please?
