Yes. Turfbeg is to the north of Forfar Loch.

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15.8&lat=56.64713&lon=-2.89356&layers=257&b=1

They wouldn't recognise it now, because it's now built over as a suburb of Forfar.
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.

Might be worth considering checking the 1789 OPR baptism. Just worried that it is the same family, with a second son named James. You may get some clues from it like location etc.
