place name recognition

Anyone any idea what or where this is.It's Old Luce parish 1805ish.I read it as Craigoch but have looked at old maps and can't find it.The nearest I can come up with is Craigbirnoch.Could these be the same place.

The downstroke on the second letter is from the line above

Hi George :)

Not a local expert at all, but I had a look on Genuki and there is a Craigoch in New Luce - see list following:
