Thanks Mel. Looks like that could be where the date of birth came from.

If that's the case then Barbara needs to look on Scotlandspeople at the christening record as it may give a little more information. Sometimes the records give the occupation of the father. Same applies if that's where the marriage date came from. It may say if the bride and groom's fathers were still alive.
