Hi all,
I've been trying to work out the proper name/ location of this place identified in an OPR of the Kirkmichael and Tomintoul area (see image below).
It says something like COLOURGEEN, COBURGEEN or COLOURGREN? But I haven't been able to find a location spelt similarly to this in the area.
For context, this baptism record is from 1819, the child is Charles Grant, parents Peter Grant alias Brown and Isabel Grant. Charles Grant later marries Mary McGregor and dies c. 1890.
Any help in identifying where this is would be greatly appreciated,
Ashley from Melbourne, Australia. :)

What are other place names on the page which may be easier to find, assuming 'Colourgreen' is nearby?
A snip of more text would help too.

Sure, I initially didn't upload a bigger snippet, in fear of going over the size limit for images.
The place names I have been able to identify on the same page are: Glenconglass, St Bridget, Tomintoul, Croughly, Rhidorach (Redorach/ Reidh Dorch), Glenlivat (Glenlivat).
Looking through the old maps, I still haven't managed to find something similar to 'Colourgreen'.
Thanks,
Ashley.

You seek Gullergreen north of the Tomantoul Kirk where the Conglass Water and Avon meet.
