I've had a look for marriages in England/Scotland between 1910 and 1936 for a George Wood and Emily Scott , nothing really stands out  :-\

Was your gran born in Scotland ? If so her parents marriage details should be on her birth certificate.
If the birth was after 1912 you would need to order the certificate from Scotlandspeople as it wont be available online.
