Ron, Apart from it being Bannockburn <g>, I'd also include the county as Stirlingshire, i.e.
Milltown, Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, Scotland.

I understand you to mean that it does not work in the Geo Location Database, and you are correct (although I haven't tried this one). This is because it is an American designed Database for American locations. It does not work for the UK and most locations in Europe, if only because we do not have states - we have countries.
