As the person who posted the Perthshire baptism record, based on the date given by Craig -
I agree with ErikaH that it's NOT the correct birth.

The 1830 Glasgow birth is the correct one.

What a find! Well done.

It’s always a good idea to have an internet search, even just on the surname and places. All sorts of things pop up.
