Could it be Barnbougle although that's not in Ross?

What document do you have it on?

I did find several references to Badanvougie- "There are also schools at Shieldag, Torriden, Kishorn, and Badanvougie, each attended by about 50 scholars. "

Aghadowey's quote is from Fullarton's Gazetteer article (1842) about the parish of Applecross, therefore it must be in the parish of Applecross.

Barnbougle Castle is between Edinburgh and South Queensferry (only about 200 miles away), so it's not that.

The New Statistical Account (1845) says, "There are five schools in the parish; the parochial school at Applecross; a school at Shieldaig, and another at Torridon, both supported by the General Assembly's Committee; a school at Kishorn, by the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge, and a Gaelic school at Badanvougie."

Still working on it.

Got it!

It's mapped as Badan Vugie on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map.

On the second edition it's Badan Mhugaidh, which makes perfect sense because 'Mh' in Gaelic is pronounced like 'V' in English, and 'dh' at the end of a word is almost silent.

And it's also Badan Mhugaidh on the modern OS maps
