Thank you once again Andy, will look at these today.
Can someone tell me where I could get a good map of Sutherland, not a modern one
I can never fathom out the old districts.

Wini,

 have you visited this site? http://www.durness.org/Index.htm

It does have some maps but it also gives you the names and the locations of most of the old townships. You can also buy old Ordnance Survey maps on-line.
