Perthshire / Craigindassie-milne

Whilst browsing some unchecked trees online which included a family member I came across the above place where they were supposedly married.  Can anyone confirm where this might be, it is supposedly in Perth or Perthshire.  The only mention of it when googling takes me back to the same source.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Missing Margory Moonie
« on: Monday 01 April 13 19:52 BST (UK)  »
Marjory (margory) Heigh Moonie was born in Monifieth  13/12/1865.  Parents Thomas Moonie and Jessie Wyllie.

In 1891 she is included in the census in the home of Francis Gervers, a very successful diamond merchant in Brighton. (Unfortunately she was only a servant!) None of the other several servants were from Scotland.

At some time prior to her death in 1916 she had returned to Scotland. She died in Sunnyside asylum (cause of death given as organic brain disease of three months) – her occupation was “servant” and she was single.  Her home address at that time was given as 32 Church Street, Broughty Ferry.  This being  the address of her brother John and his family (who also had a daughter called Marjory).  However, she does not appear in the 1901 or 1911 census with them. 

I cannot trace her anywhere between 1891 and 1916. 

I see from previous posts that some records are available for Sunnyside but any further ideas would be much appreciated.

I don't know whether forum users are aware of a new site set up by Bill Lawson - it may prove useful to those searching family from the Western Isles/Hebrides.
