McPhersons in Doune

My grandfather who was a retired Glasgow policeman purchased a house called "Kibi" in Balkurach Street in the 1930s. I was evacuated to Doune in 1940 and stayed there most of the war years. My aunts Grace McPherson and Babs McDonald ran the grocery shop on Balkurach Street up until the early 1950s. I have no idea why the house was called "Kibi" which appears to be an Indian name and I would be most interested to find out. Other people I can remember were Loudens and Jessie Stewart, the railway signal lady during the war.
