Gadget, on your map between the Corry of Ardnagrask & Greenhill Cottage is a croft called Croit Cnoc by the Jesmore Burn.  At the highest magnification!  ;D
So there is.

But it is at a dead end, not alongside the road that DougD was driven along.

From what I can work our from the Don's description and the modern maps, he drove down Corry Road. It then divides - a spur going to Croit Cnoc, etc. and the other going to the SE and then bending to SW to Corry Vannie.

That's more or less my interpretation, but he thought the house he saw was about a mile down Corry Road, and it's a good two miles to the fork, and he didn't mention having gone down a dead end road. So I think Cnoc-na-Boull must be closer to the village.

Will your bike get you that far?

Place names in order are: Aultvaich side of Ardnagrask, Croftnaboul, Croftnallan and then the village (M of O).

The 1851 has the family that Forfarian found on 1841 at Croftnabual. Also there in 1861.  Address is now the Ardnagrask Inn

See attached for neighbouring households.
