« on: Saturday 25 April 15 06:31 BST (UK) »
1829 MCDONALD, CATHERINE (S.C.A.Births MP XXXXX-, ESKADALE, ST MARY'S)

We are  pretty sure we have most of this record deciphered except for a couple of words, (possibly a locality):
March 24th 1829 McDonald
Catherine lawful daughter of John McDonald and Mary Bisset,  ???  ???, born the 23rd, baptised the 24th March, 1829. Sponsors Andrew Stuart and Jannet Forbes
Thwaites (Durham) – Ininns (Durham) – Innings (Hampshire) – Rooney (Durham, Ireland) – Hutchinson (Durham) – Chambers (Durham) – Hopper (Durham) – Welsh (Durham, Ireland) – Potts (Durham) – Gray (Durham) – Brodrick (Durham) – Cook (Northumberland) – Hoggin (Durham, Ireland) – Gibbin (Durham, Ireland) – Henderson (Durham) – Scoon (Durham, Roxburghshire)

It looks like Tuoran Bury, but that doesn't seem to be a place.  :-\

Worth looking at the National Library of Scotland maps website. It may be a partially Anglicised form of a Gaelic name. Perhaps the second  part is a form of buidhe, meaning "yellow", which is common in place names. You could also go through the places in the parish in the 1841 census on FreeCEN, if the parish is included there.

We checked the Scotland's Places website, searched on Inverness and then on Eskadale and then found FUARANBUIE with various spellings including:
Fuaranbuie, Fuaranbuie, Fuaranbuie.

I would say that this is the name of the area that Catherine McDonald was born and baptised in.
Thanks for all the suggestions,
Ian
