Margee,
Linlithgow is miles away from both Alves and Glenlivet so I don't think you have the correct man. I think you have found two other people with the same name.
Possible in Scotland.

The naturisation record you found has him born in Coltfield which is near Alves, Moray so I think if this is the correct record, the poster has made a mistake with Linlithgow.

There is a tree on ancestry with this for that Annie, GlasgowLass so it may possibly not be the correct one.
Birth 1900 abt Morayshire, Burghead,
Residence 1901 Age: 1 Masonhaugh Farm, Duffus, Moray, Scotland
Marriage to William John McKenzie 1928 Age: 28 Moray, Scotland
Still waiting to hear from Sylann to verify which is the correct William Grant.
