Can anyone identify the place where John Mackenzie was living at the time of his marriage to Catherine Macdonald in 1837?
Researching the names Mckenzie / Mackenzie from Ross and Cromarty especially Scoraig and Rherivach.

Might not be much help, but this could relate to a farm, rather than a hamlet/village etc, which might be why it's proving difficult to trace...

I suspect that Catherine MacDonald is the sister of my ancestor William MacDonald.  He lived at Strongarve/ Stronguie with his father John in 1832. William was convicted of cattle stealing but while on bail one of his cautioned was  John MacKenzie.  Another was a John Cameron who was married to "his sister".  I believe she was named Margaret with a marriage also recorded on Strongarve.  Margaret's parents are listed as John MacDonald and Catherine Ross
Does any of this match anything you have found.
