Marriage record - Mull
Definitely not Inveraray - not enough letters and if it had been it would have said 'in the parish of ...' I read it as Inivey, so it's almost certainly Inivea. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4

Both. From the point of view of family history, St Ninians is a //parish// in the county of Stirling. It happens to be next door to the parish of Stirling, and is now effectively a suburb of the city.
