Austin, I fear investigating Nobles should carry a health warning!! In 1851 it's John Noble's Close not Lane but if you 'walk' through the households you'll see that it
appears to be positioned between Braehead and Kirkbrae. By the way, I can find none of these places on the late 19th century map at NLS
. Maybe they were just known locally by these names? In Dundee there was a place called the Hennie Parkie I'm sure that never appeared on any map but if you lived in the West End of Dundee you'd know exactly where it was.
