Steve, just because you can't find a marriage record on Scotland's People, it doesn't mean they weren't married. Quite a few parishes have gaps in the records, and there were others which were in such poor condition that they were unable to be scanned. There is a section on the website which lists the records available for each parish, so you could check that out.
There were also various forms of marriage in Scotland, all of which were / are recognised under Scots law, but not necessarily recorded. If they claim to have been married then they probably were!
