The handwritten document is absolutely clear that Andrew Ramage was from the parish of Peebles. Therefore (barring an error in the document, of course) the place in question cannot be in the parish of Tweedsmuir.

Nor can it be Pinhope which is in a different county, never mind a different parish.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
