Exactly what I've been wondering.

The original looks like Ballindhean, so I thought it might be Ballindean https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15.6&lat=57.49610&lon=-3.40724&layers=257&b=ESRIWorld&o=100 which (unlike the assorted Ballinteans I've managed to find so far) is in the parish of Knockando.

There's no trace of it on modern maps - the place where it was has been forested, harvested and replanted but the hill behind it still bears the name https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3207157
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
