Hello Annette,
I agree with you.
I looked at the full page and saw other children born to families living at the Ness. My partner thinks that perhaps the pen 'malfunctioned' so that the strokes on the ts didn't show up or else the pries wrote in a hurry.
Then I tried to work out what it could mean and found this:
Originally known as An Rudha, "the point" or "the Ness", Invergordon received its name from Sir William Gordon, a local landowner of the early eighteenth century. For centuries the estate on which Invergordon now stands was known as Inverbreakie (the mouth of the Breakie); the Breakie presumably being the stream which enters the Firth at Rosskeen Bridge near the old parish church.

So thank you, Annette: I'm so glad I decided to post my problem here!
