Ah, great, I'm happy now, lol. The devil is in the detail as they say and possibly they didn't want to go into a hugely convoluted discussion explaining the hair splitting difference between Tomintoul Village, Corriemulzie and Tomintoul Croft. Or perhaps they just didn't realise there WAS a difference as the area is so remote and underpopulated.

I still can't believe they didn't say "And she lived in a cottage which is now a Scottish Heritage Site" or whatever it is - if that were my ancestor I'd be thrilled to know that. It's those little idiosyncratic details which bring our ancestors alive, surely.
