Can you post an image please of the census with those details "Uist L Massy N" as they don't make sense & the 1891 with "Duskeler" ???

Can you also post ages on census please & at time of marriage?

This could be DUNSKELLOR, North Uist?

Sorry I didnt give much info

Catherine McLeod married was a domestic servant who married John Strachan a Sergeant of Police in Aug 1877 in Glasgow
 Her parents on marriage cert were John Mcleod, a joiner deceased and mother Catherine  nee Mc Donald deceased
 On 1881 census  she was said to by born 1853 Dunskellen Inverness and in 1891 its in Dunskeler Inverness and 1901 Uist

 I couldnt find any of these places by googling them
