I saw Nairn Kent as well but Nairn isn’t in Kent, unless “Nairn” was a house name? An I or J above the K which I can’t explain. Upstroke of the K looks odd so may not be a K, but my first thought was K and now I can’t see anything else.  :-\

I see Cramen or Cranen Perthshire Scotland but Genuki doesn’t show any such place. The list is not comprehensive though.

I would be looking for other documents to confirm those place names.

I was just about to suggest Craven as an alternative but can’t see anywhere in Perthshire called Craven.

Isn't it just a very squashed "Scotland" after Nairn?

Yes, it could well be, and makes complete sense.  :)

Added: In fact the first letter has similarities with the S of Spinster.

Acaciabound, have you looked through the Scotlandspeople index for the birth of this lady?

A relative has and all we come up with is Perthshire.
The marriage certificate from here in Australia has more detail but can't work it out other than the Perthshire Scotland


Janet's parents worked at Ruthven as per below.
By the time of the 1841 Census, William and Jane were at the address of Huntingtower Castle in the county of Perthshire. His occupation noted as a ‘Labourer’ age 25 and Jane/Jean also 25. The castle is located not far from where both William and Jane were baptized and married at Tibbermore, and close to Ruthvenfield.William working as a laborer could have meant he either worked at the castle or more likely worked in the bleaching fields abounding Huntingtower castle and the village of Huntingtower
