As the letter also states that "Milpeter in Sutherlandshire, a place above Helmsdale...." I have found that Kilpheader is a shire of Sutherland s. a village in the Parish of Clyne on Loch Brora.

Kilphedir/Kilphedder is a hamlet in the Kildonan Strath, a mile or so northwest of Helmsdale. I visited there a few weeks ago.

For more information I suggest you join the Clan Sutherland group on Facebook, as the Clan Sutherland genealogist runs it and will be able to tell you in far more detail than I can.
