Drimore, South Uist, Scotland

The oldest Scotland Census from 1841 indicates that Allan worked on a Farm as a Ag Laborer.
The farm was in Drimore, South Uist, Scotland.
South Uist is a small island Measuring about eight miles east to west and 22 miles north to south.
South Uist also has over 190 fresh water lochs.
South Uist’s first language is still Gaelic and the religion is still Catholic.
Here is a current picture of a Farm in Drimore, it's a old historic farm and gives us an idea of what the area looks like.  

I also found a picture of the old Telegraph office in South Uist, from around the time Allan was living their.


The last one is a picture of a farm in Drimore.  I would assume it would be very close to the one Allan worked on.  Here is the information it had of the picture online:  
This is a 19th-century farmstead with a U-shaped plan. It consists of a byre to the N, stables and three cart bays to the W, with a shed or bothy at the end of the range, and a barn with horse-gang to the E, possibly including a dairy at the end of the range. The farmstead is gabled, built of coursed rubble and has corrugated-iron roofs.
