if you type in the OS reference into Streetmap, you'll see that the you get the 6-figure x/y co-ordinates in the address of the map. take these and put them into this link in place of the "123456"s:

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/oldmaps/index_external.jsp?easting=123456&northing=123456

this will show you the site on the 1866/1867 OS map

using Tom na Chessaig as an example, typing NN770220 into Streetmap gives:

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=277050&Y=722050&A=Y&Z=1

so the Old Maps link for this site would be:

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/oldmaps/index_external.jsp?easting=277050&northing=722050

(watch out for the spaces that appear after the "=" - you need to delete them for the link to work)

Cheers
Andy
