Do you have her marriage cert? Her parents' names should be on it but I cannot find the marriage on scotlandspeople - the only Grant/Mitchell marriage in 1925 does not either of those first names and I cannot find a marriage between an Esther Mitchell and Donald Grant between 1920 and 1930 any where in Scotland.

Her marriage certificate will give her parents' names including her mother's maiden surname. The marriage certificate will be available from http://www.scotlanspeople.gov.uk £6 for 30 credits - 1 credit to view search results an 5 to view entry. Her birth certificate will also be available there and it will give you the date and place of her parent's marriage.
