He is mentioned as the residence an1876 marriage certificate, my ancestor was a manager, it is could be a house or hotel. The pastor had written, which (in England), wrote horrible. The best I could do it in my question, but it could be something similar.

Have you tried different versions of this word?
I have a
Glendfinlas
Glen Finglas

I went ahead and copied some of the places where I saw the word and places ... Good luck!

Beginning of the 19th Built-century Glenfinlas Street is a quiet cul de sac near Charlotte Square, was built by Robert Adam, as the grand finale of the first new city of Georgia, and is the location of the office of the Prime Minister of Scotland. It is also home to the National Trust for Scotland.

Walter and Janet Callander mentioned in ancient documents Glenfinglas in the community lived and had four children so that they can all the children of a chieftain of the previous Gartnafuaran

In 1602, the MacGregors raided regularly on the Lord of Luss Glenfinlas country, and took a number of sheep and cattle, and killed several of his tenants. Alexander Colquhoun, had the Privy Council against the Earl of Argyll complained to not remove claN Gregory, but he failed to get compensation, has been a tragic way to win the sympathy of the king.

Argyll existing Glenfinart House in Glen Glenfyne Finarte and Lodge in Glenfyne.

Do you think it is, some people in 1800 used to write 'f' for an 's', say it in Argyll Glenshira Lodge Glenshirra

A Glenfinglas, but in Perthshire.
However, certain limitations, the time change, and is bordered by Perthshire Argyll.

Nothing moves me, but maybe worth a look with the certificate before you.

This list could be larger because it includes the smaller cities:

If you could let me know his name and age, I'll try to find its source Scotlandspeople for you, or I could try the 1871 census Ancestry.co.uk.

Glenfinnan, perhaps? It is about twenty miles west of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.
