Where is this place in Urquhart & Logie Wester or close by?

Hi, please see the snippet of my paternal ggggg grandparents' marriage @ Ferintosh in 1761. He seems to have hailed from Newtown & she from Culnagowr. I've found Newtown or Newton, but not Culnagowr (or is it Culnagown) - maybe I'm reading the handwriting wrongly.
Calling placename experts out there for help on this one, please.
Cheers,
Col

Oops, the image doesn't seem to be supported.
Anyway the names are Newtown definitely & Culnagowr or Culnagown.
Cheers,
Col

Culgower betwen Brora and Helmsdale on the East Sutherland coast of northern Scotland.

Hi & thanks solidrock.
It doesn't look like the same word as per the marriage record but I can't find anything else. It's a long way from Newton. Some 340 kms.
Nothing else closer?
Cheers,
Col

Can you try to upload the image again, maybe try to change it to jpeg.

Hi & thanks blokes. That makes more sense distance wise Malky. I'll go with Coulnagour. Is that goat bit Gaelic again Skoosh?
Cheers,
Col

@ Col, the Gaelic again, the Culgower in Sutherland has probably more to do with Levison-Gower, the family name of their infamous evicting duke, than goats! 

Skoosh.
