I can't fully make out where it says he was born, can anybody help (I won't say what I have deciphered to prevent influencing you).

A close-up of the field in questions is here:

Answer 1

I trust my answer will back up your suspicions.  The person in question was born in Glasgow.

Answer 2

I've done magnification, more magnification...and I'm stumped!

Not knowing Scottish towns and the like, I'd not even attempt to venture an opinion!  Good luck!

(One thought...might the place of birth be a Parish name?)

Answer 3

The top line looks like Ireland County Lyon and the second line looks like something Glasgow in your second photo.

Does that help?

Glasgow is in Lanarkshire.

Answer 4

In reply to yr question.  One of the places looks like Glasgow.

I'm sorry I can't help you further with this, but perhaps the following can give you some assistance:-

Glasgow & Western Scotland Family History Society.

Their site is: gwsfhs.org.uk and they have a list of towns and villages in that area.

Good luck.
