Could you tell me which website "S.P. hmcc" is please? I wouldn't mind having a look at the birth record. I couldn't find it on www.freebmd.org.uk.
FreeBMD is an index to births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales only. It does not include Scotland.

Original Scottish BMD records are available only at www.scotlandpeople.gov.uk though various commercial web sites have partial indexes. SP is the abbreviations often used for Scotland's People.

hmcc is the screen name of the person who found and posted the information for you.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
