John Wallace 53 Head
Jane Wallace 55 Wife
Margaret Wallace 7 Grandaughter (Granddaughter)
The grand-daughter is the girl listed as step-daughter to Robert in 1881.
It does seem, though, that Robert (Barbara's father) , who was born in Edinburgh, changed occupation from shale miner to grocer when he moved to Orkney.
No doubt he had to - there's not much call for shale miners in Orkney.
Perhaps he took over from Barbara's father John, who was a grocer by 1871??
Robert and Margaret's marriage . Their daughter Elizabeth (in 1881 census) was born in West Calder:
28 January 1870 at 6 Tay Street, West Calder.
Robert Watt, shale miner, bachelor, 19.
Parents: Robert Watt, tailor, and Margaret Watt, ms Brown.
Margaret Wallace, domestic servant, spinster, 22.
Parents: John Wallace, spirit merchant, and Jane Wallace, ms Scott.
AHA!
Reason for the Garrioch name - it was Barbara's grandmother's surname.
Death of her father:

CORRECTION -
At 11:20 I said that Margaret was in Dalkeith, Edinburgh in 1901.
My mistake - she was in Dalkeith, Orkney.
Spotted it myself, then Mike also PM'd:
"her father was primarily a farmer with shops, he had land on sanday stronsay and papa stronsay. The census say one thing other official documents ie deaths births another
The Dalkeith you refer to is in Orkney my grandfather lived there.
Generations of my own family built boats but they were primarily farmers "
