Deciphering Place Name.....

[Pandabean]

Can anyone help me work out the pace name for Andrew Rutherford (near the top).

It looks like Ruthshire? Galloway? to me

Hi Andy,
It could be Perthshire, Fossoway.

Thanks.

I cant seem to find a birth in that region for this person, which is annoying.

If it's Fossoway try Kinross-shire on the IGI and you might be lucky.
Best wishes,
Meg
