It looks like Starryhow which is at 57:34:02N 3:03:57W and can be found on http://geo.nls.uk/os6inch   I dont think there is a building there now although I know the nearest places on the map, Knowhead and Soundmoor have modern houses there but I don't even think there is a ruin where Starryhow was.

Pittensair is about half a mile south east of Lhanbryde. (NGR NJ 2840 6085
Latitude, Longitude 57.631884N, 3.2007W) There is a story about it having been attacked by govt troops shortly after the battle of culloden when it was hit by a canonball.
