Hi Marzy
You have his birth entry?
GORDON KELMAN MAITLAND WHYTE Birth:07 JUN 1873 Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen
Parents: MARJORY WHYTE
His birth looks to have been illegitimate.
I wonder if this is him in 1881 and potentially another brother:
Jane Scorgie ??8, head, Crofter Of 2 Acres, b. Kincardine O'Neil, Kincardine
Helen Scorgie 22, granddaughter b. Newhills, Aberdeensh
Frederick G Duffus 13, boarder b. Old Marchar
William J Duffus 9, boarder b. Aberdeen
Gordon Whyte 8, boarder b. Aberdeen
William Whyte 5, boarder b. Aberdeen
Address: Whiterashes, Newhills, Aberdeen
His 1893 marriage might give you more clues (father's name, if his mother had married and her married surname for example).
Just putting a link for the post on Gordon's wife Annie Cruickshank to avoid any duplication
