Place of marriage looks like "Kill, Ireland" of which there are several.
Place of birth looks like ??ckton, perhaps it will look familiar to someone with local knowledge.

There does seem to be a frequent problem with the way these Scottish birth records have been scanned in 2-colour mode so that the faint parts of the pen strokes are completely lost - judging by the number of deciphering requests for them. 

[edited to add]  Yes I read "Labourer" before I saw your interpretation.

Labourer -  agreed

Kill, Ireland - looks convincing

Kirkton?

Another vote for, 'labourer', and 'Kill. Ireland' - the first letter of 'Kill' is the same as the 'K' on John King's name.

Agree with Kirkton and labourer.

The only alternative to Kill that I can think of is Kells in Co. Meath. 

I've had a look through the marriages around that time but, so far, don't see any in irishgenealogy.ie

Agree with Labourer & Kirkton

Could Kill be...

"Kill is a village and parish in County Kildare, Ireland"?
