Good find, Malky.

Mains of Cairnborrow is here http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4640 with a glimpse of Backtack.
This is Brownhill http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4542 and a glimpse of Glenshee
Cairnmore http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4442
Blackhill http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4642
but I can't see Gerbrack on any the maps there, or on http://maps.nls.uk/view/74480042 or any of the other digital historic maps.

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.

Thanks so much everyone for your help. I hadn't previously found any siblings for Jessie Isabella Watt.

And Gerbrack (being a farm) in the Parish of Glass makes sense to me.

Malky - I don't understand what S.P means earlier? (Sorry - I'm new to this!) Do you mean she died in 1955?

Jessie Isabella had a son, Thomas George Stables, DOB 3 July 1894, at Corshalloch. William Smith Stables is listed as the father. At some stage, Thomas George adopted his mother's maiden name, and went to Australia. I am trying to locate records of his passage, but he married and died in Australia under the name of Watt.

Jessie went on to marry a William Bowie on 1 August 1896, and they had a son, also William Bowie, who died as a child as a result of tragic accident on 3 October 1905.

I've not yet been able to find details of what happened to Jessie after this period. I'd be grateful for input.
