Sorry, but "1800's" is very vague.
Can you narrow it down to a decade (or thereabouts)?

Doesn't really help I know, but you could try contacting Golspie Heritage http://www.spanglefish.com/golspieheritagesociety/ on seeking advice direct from Dunrobin who may have staff lists http://www.dunrobincastle.co.uk/
I couldn't find a William or Peter Kerr living in Golspie in the census'.
