I must admit I was very surprised to suddenly receive replies to this very old post! Thanks to every one who has posted.

That is what happens when people have their browser monitoring a forum.  Someone does a search, finds a match and replies, often without realising the original was quite old.  Then someone replies to their reply ...

But often it can bring up useful new information.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned but the NLS now have many streets maps of towns in Scotland.

Also you can look at Valuation Rolls on Scotlands People, from what I remember they list all properties with some details of them.  They might not appear if not the owner of the business but you can do some searches free.

Ask the archive if they have any records of the coach services.

There is a riding centre in Newtonmore who I think include coach driving - sure they provided the coach for the anniversary run.

They might be able to give more information and possibly interested in seeing a picture of the licence plate that you have as might the Highland Archive.

There are some pictures on AMBAILE.

You can get large scale maps on the National Library of Scotland website (no charge or registration needed)

The 25 inch are usually the most useful but there are others

Map Series of Scotland:

    25 inch to the mile:
        Ordnance Survey, 25 inch to the mile, 1st edition - 1855-1882 - 14,735 sheets
        Ordnance Survey, 25 inch to the mile, 2nd and later editions - 1892-1949 - 17,466 map sheets
    Six-inch to the mile:
        Ordnance Survey, Six-inch to the mile, 1st edition - 1843-1882 - 2,123 sheets
        Ordnance Survey, Six-inch to the mile, 2nd and later editions - 1892-1960 - 7,486 map sheets

This the late 19th Century
