The only place to find it is Scotland’s People website, but the MMN will not be shown
For that info, you’re going to need a copy of the certificate

You are way out , it's 1948

Take a look on the site . You would have to purchase the cert to see parents names

Just a guess, based only on names -

possibly parents' marriage ??

ALSTON
HAROLD
MELVILLE
MARY CRIGHTON
1939
168/1 83
Aberdeen Northern District

But as already said, you'll have to buy a copy of the birth cert to be sure.

Order through Scotlands People website, for £12.

Did she have a sister Carol Ann ??

If so, this would be her parents' marriage, rather than the guess above:

Carol Ann's birth:
