Spending a few credits on Scotlands People will let you see the original document, which will give you her parents' names and the place date of their marriage.

Have just noticed your crucial sentence about what Alison was training to be!
As Chris says, perhaps the image of the 1901 census would tell you - or the 1911, only available on ScotlandsPeople.
In 1911 she's back in Mains, and still unmarried.
So maybe a teacher?
EDIT:
This tree says she was a teacher.

Thank you for the information - we found out about this side of the family quite by accident. Purchased a book on her father and rest as they say is ... literally history
