The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. This falls at the W end of the Coigach peninsula, to the N of the broad entrance to Loch Broom.
The location of Oldney cannot be established from the available map evidence, but it is assumed to lie within the area of the North Minch.
