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.

Thank you for that interesting information. Here are my plates. The top right is, I believe, from the Fort William mail coach

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

Years ago when researching my OHs Shirras-Smith ancestors up in Banff and Aberdeenshire  I found the family had started a coach service for use by their clients.   I came across this advert, which gave me an idea of what style of coach was available in that era.
