The lands of Strone located in the Badenoch and Strathspey region of Inverness, Scotland. I found these pictures while I was searching google maps on Strone Rd. The road is accessible from Newtonmore. These pictures were taken by Amanda Hutchinson in 2016 and by Croft Holidays. Very beautiful country. Both crofts can be rented out.

Strone, Badenoch and Strathspey, Inverness, Scotland

The lands of Strone, located in the Badenoch and Strathspey area of Inverness, Scotland. Two croft farms on the right and on the left of Strone Rd. Mackintoshes of Strone have lived here since the 1600's until possibly the 1750's.

Mackintosh Muniments for Anna MacQueen

Apparently this has been sitting in my drafts for like 5 years!

A.M. Mackintosh makes the statement that since Robert Mackintosh signed (Oct 1756) the reclaiming of the Laggan lands to the Mackintosh Chief, that since he's "eldest son in life of the deceased Lachlan Mackintosh of Strone", it must mean, that the two sons of James Mackintosh of Strone, William and Angus are deceased. But we see in #817 that William Mackintosh, eldest lawful son to the deceased James Mackintosh of Strone was a present during Ann MacQueen's disposition, so they must still be alive. We can refer to A.M. Mackintosh from an earlier history by Rev. Lachlan Shaw (unfortunately that history is missing) that James died in Jamaica, we must conclude that after the battle of Culloden, James was sent to Jamaica and died before 1756. One can only imagine what happened to William and Angus, and the other children on Robert and Anne: Lachlan, William, Anne and Christian. They are not mentioned anywhere, and the Original Parish records for Inverness have been lost before the 1790's mostly.
