Hi,

Can't help you with the line, but the places, Tomintoul and Lochgilphead
anyway, should be on any good map of Scotland. Tomintoul is a lonely and
lovely place at the top of a mountain on the way north to Inverness, just a
bit south of Grantown-on-Spey. Lochgilphead is near the western coast, on
Loch Fyne. You should probably invest in some UK Ordnance Survey maps of
the area, they are fantastic maps, show every tree nearly, and you will
probably find the other places lurking here and there.

Have fun,
Mary
