google failed me!!! (Mellenish/Mellinish)

It could be one of those instances where the tune and or the
dance is more famous than the place. I have found a number of instances
(especially with Scotland) where a place name is not found on Google or any
other search engine. I found an entry on this page:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maryc/bruce01.htm for a  Marion MELLINISH.
So, one can induct that there may in fact be a place name Mellinish.

However, correspondence with Undiscovered Scotland got this response:

"We've got a searchable Ordnance Survey 1:50K digital map of the whole of 
Scotland, and it doesn't include either name or any close variant we 
tried."

I hope that helps!
