Hello

Is there a place called Dalfoe in Strachen?

Hi Heather,

Give or take the spelling, on the parish map that I gave in answer to your previous message, there is "West Dalfro" at the foot of hill "Craig of Dalfro". These are just south of Strachan village.

The current map shows "Craig of Dalfro". West Dalfro either isn't marked, or it has gone over the 100 years or so between these maps.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson
