Rothan Parish of Ordiquhill
« on: Thursday 04 April 19 16:27 BST (UK) »
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the above place.  I just don't seem to be able to find it on an OS map. 

cheers

Spelled Rothen or Rothin now.

See https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ6058 (click on the map to enlarge it and see a veritable cornucopia of Rothins) and
https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=57.6157&lon=-2.6633&layers=5&b=1 from which you can see that Rothen covers several farms and crofts, and that it straddles the boundary between Ordiquhill and Boyndie.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Got it, thank you.  I also had a place called Headrooms mentioned and it is right next door.   :)

Yes. Looks as if Headrooms is in the parish of Banff!
