Hello and welcome to Rootshcat.
There are a lot of good researchers on here who will be happy to help you, but you will have to give us a little more background information to work on.
If James is deceased then it would help if you can give us more information and dates about him, but be aware that we cannot post information about living people on Rootschat.

Sorry Craclyn, I am a newbie to all this and do not know much. Unfortunately I only know my grandfathers place of birth (Nairn, Nairnshire) Parents names unknown plus I do not know if he had any siblings.
He married Alexina Gray, born 1897, Corskellie, Lonmay. They both died in Invergordon. Alexina 1960, James date unkown. My father James Victor Evan Mackie was born, 1925 Invergordon Ross Shire. (deceased) :(

Have you tried the website www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ?
It is a paysite where you have to buy credits to look at images of records, but you will find that the information is very useful. If you start with the marriage record for your grandparents then it should give you more information about their parents and you can work back from there.
