More than likely it would have been the bride's home. There were no Registry Offices before about 1948 or so.
It was very common to be married at home, usually on a Saturday evening when everyone had finished work, then next day the married couple would make a special visit to the church to be "kirked". This would only apply to Presbyterians, Catholics were only ever married in the church or, if a mixed marriage, sometimes the vestry.
Lodger.

Number 7 may be in the block on the corner of Bridgegate and Saltmarket above the Old Ship Bank. It is difficult to tell from Google streetview, but the building is old enough - one of the few remaining old ones.

Hi Skoosh & Lodger,
thanks for the two interesting replies.
I have a copy of my g,aunts marriage certificate from SP.On the cert it has date and place(as above)then it says by declaration in the presence of Archibald Savage-Chauffeur and Robert Rophet?-Chauffeur. and Warrent of Sherriff Substitute of Lanarkshire.
G,aunt Mabel married a Marine Engineer whose residence is given as S.S Alineda(sp)of Boston that was docked in Rothesay,Clydebank.
Forgot to say that Mabel was born in Cardiff to Scottish parents,but her parents were from Banff.

Hi MM
With the reference on the entry for the marriage being by Warrant of Sherriff Substitute, I wonder if it was a solicitor's office. There is this 1917 reference for example that shows a Writer (solicitor) at that address www.gazettes-online.co.uk/issues/30091/pages/5127/page.pdf

Hi Monica,
how on earth did you find that!!!Well done.
If they married in a solicitor's office do you think it could be something to do with him being an American sailor--special licence?.
Regards,
MM

Hello all,
thanks for all your great replies--fantastic!
Monica--re Warrant of Sherriff Substitute posts cleared a few things up for me as it also has info on irregular marriages and I have a few of them in my family.
Sandgrounder1-thanks for link-great photo.
harrywrag-thanks for that link,I see that a writer lived at that number as Monica posted.
A massive bonus for me was typing in Park Drive South and finding my auntx3 Ann Souter listed as proprietor of no 70.It also (I think)gives her current address which is Auchenhalrig(please somebody correct me if i'm wrong).
Thanks again Rootschatters
MM
