Belcher(r)ie does have an entry in the Glass book, but no reference to McRobbies, Geddeses or Horns.

the name Belcherie has surfaced but I think that is in Cabrach which makes it all the more confusing for me.
It does seem to be in Cabrach, but very close to the boundary with Glass which follows a burn bridged at Ardgallie. See https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=57.3996&lon=-2.9995&layers=5&b=1
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.

The book was published in 1970. Up to that date it gives the tenants (with gaps) as:

1790 - 1816 William Taylor and Margaret Minan

About 1870 - William Gordon

1933 - Alexander Keir

1947 - James Simpson

1961 - George Scott
