I have attached the section of his marriage cert. Not great clarity but u can make out Dundee and Ayrshire fairly easily. Extreme right.
The closest I could find was a Robert Calder, father William, at the saw mill, mother Helen Findlay. Baptized  July 20,  1920 Aboyne, Aberdeen.

In 'Dundee' the 'd' looks like 'cl' as the 'd' in 'widow' is formed differently?

Ayrshire certainly looks clear enough. But Dunclee makes no sense, any more than Dundee.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Forfarian...

It's a start!

Ayrshire out of the 2 seems the more likely correct place although 'Dun' whatever may be a Farm name, something not actually a 'town/village name'?

No, sorry but I think Dundee is correct. I think the closeup makes it look different if it is zoomed out to normal page size it looks more like a "d" than anything else. Not sure which one is "morre" correct. Maybe just one of those family history things never to be deciphered. I will keep looking. Just funny that it was mentioned in an episode of WDYTYA, if it is incorrect.

Is this the death of your Robert CALDER, died 1893, SPOL, age 74...……..?
1893 / 15972 CALDER  Robt parents Wm / Ellen (HARPER)

What names do you have for their children?

What names do you see on the marriage certificate, 1858, for witnesses?

sorry this doesn't answer the question about Robert but I watched the Delta Goodrem programme and from my understanding they said her ancestor came from Ayrshire but showed an advert for the family business which stated they had a warehouse/shop in Commercial street Dundee Angus

Several Ancestry trees and a baptisim record on Scotlands People show he was born in Adrossan Ayrshire

Taking into consideration the 1851 census result as living in Dundee, I wonder if the question about the birth-place was misunderstood, (ie where are you from ?) and the current place of residence ie Dundee was given instead of the birthplace, Ayrshire.  This was corrected, as Ayrshire was noted as well, and Dundee was just left recorded to confuse budding genealogists in 2018.

Sorry, but I don't understand this. Who or what is Delta Goodrem and is there any connection with Robert Calder?

Also there must be plenty of businesses with branches in both Dundee and Ayrshire.

I have not been able to find this baptism on the SP index.
