Right, that's where Makleane originally was.
Then it seems the Allens found the old MacLean document, crowded a new Maklane at the bottom of p13, and changed Makleane to MakCeane (evidently only changing the one letter).
This means that the MakCeane tartan in the modified Cromarty MS was the brother's original design for Makleane. Had the brothers not found that old document the MacLeans would probably be wearing a different tartan today.
