Thanks for sharing another wonderful piece of research with us Emma, it also makes you realise how detailed the Scottish Civil Records are compared to those of England and Wales!
I spend more time than I'd like to admit picturing the places described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books. My ancestor Agnes Cardno came to Canada from a place called Burn Mill, just outside of Peterhead, which sounds quite pretty: "A good corn mill propelled by water power; having dwelling house, offices, yard & garden attached. property of Colonel Ferguson, Pitfour."
