Hi there
In the book "Place names of Ross and Cromarty" by Watson, there's a mention of a place called "TORNABROCK" in the parish of Kilmuir Easter. Unfortunately the book doesn't have any maps, but the entry for Tornabrock is between Delny and Barbaraville, so I would guess that's its location.
The name is said in the book to come from the Gaelic "Torr na broc" meaning "Mound of the badgers".
Hope this helps!
