Title: Thriepland Morayshire
Post by: Deegjay on Tuesday 02 November 10 20:29 GMT (UK)
Does anyone know where ' Thriepland ' is located, I believe it should be close to Urquart, but have tried Google and Bing etc maps and cannot find it.

TIA

Many thanks, its the one referred to in the middle link of your first post.
Looks as though it is now non existant as the coordinates given show a field and the A96 road

thanks

Was Murray of Threipland not a secretary to Prince Charlie during the '45, I think the family lived at Dale House on the Thurso River, Caithness in the 60s     Skoosh.

There is no guarantee that there's only one place called Thriepland or Threapland. In fact www.streetmap.co.uk has at least three, and there could be others not on the current maps.
