No
Notes
The NGR given is for the earlier location of Stroanpatrick, as shown on OS 6 inch 1st edn. The settlement has 'moved' (i.e. the name has been transferred) a short distance to the south, and OS Digimap shows Stroanpatrick at NX643919. The OS 6 inch 2nd edn. shows neither of these Stroanpatrick. It seems that the original Stroanpatrick was abandoned and demolished in the second half of the nineteenth century (it is not shown on the 2nd edn map, not even as a ruin), and the building once called Stroanfreggan (OS 6 inch 1st and 2nd edns) was renamed Stroanpatrick.
