The birth is on Scotlands People as is a marriage for a John Main to Margaret Main in Nairn on 18th Dec 1705 which may be him.  Both available to download.  Not seeing a birth in Nairn for John or Margaret but the records don't seem to go back before 1705.

Is that the birth for Alexander do you mean ?
