Find a grave has it as 14th of June

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/242837477/arthur-mcnab-milne

But looks more like 24th June on death cert.

Only road I can find that ends in 'w' - as in same as the written twenty is - Glasgow Road.

Possibly it is not 6 but a G?

15 Glasgow Road. I checked the index to the valuation rolls and there is a Peter Milne living there 1930-35.

I suspect it might be 25th.

The third letter does not look like an "r", and there is a dot over to the right which could belong to the "i". And as we know, dots are often not where they should be.  :)

So I think it might actually be Twenty Fifth.

Edit: Having looked at the page again, the scribe's dots are often a couple of letters to the right of where they actually belong.

It could very well be with the father registering death on the 26th
