Hello Scozzie,


unfortunately, the Old Maps site is not much help in this case. The map of that area dates from 1860, whereas Darnconner appears to have been created just afterwards (from the ElectricScotland gazetteer Dernconner).

There is an interesting article about the housing conditions at:

Regards,

John

Absolutely no question that the address is "Darnconner!" !
