According to a friend of mine .... his surname was used as an alternative to McGregor ... namely COMRIE, as in the place of that name.

I found three more births to this couple.
In one of the documents, the location name appears as "Tombnaserine in Brasleny".
I've added these attachments and would appreciate further comments as to where this place is located. It seems to be near Callander.

I think it reads 'Tombnascrine in Braeleny', which fits with previous suggestions. Also it is in (the parish of) Callander, not 'near Callander'.
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.
