I have a page from the 1901 census with my relative on but the address does not seem to exist now,
there is also another family just before them on the line above with a different street that is still existing but no longer has houses , do I assume that perhaps the streets met at a corner plot and that is why they are together on the same page as my relative was living at no 1.
I have looked at the google map and there is quite a bit of land there that could have been the street I was looking for

Wouldn't it be easier to actually look at a map? The National Library of Scotland has an online facility which enables you to examine OS 6" maps from the 1888 to 1913 series. (It's for the whole of Great Britain, not just Scotland) Start here http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=8&lat=53.6802&lon=-1.8118&layers=171 Click-&-drag the map...

Start here
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=8&;lat=53.6802&lon=-1.8118&layers=171
Click-&-drag the map until the relevant part of the country is in view.
Hold down the shift key and draw a rectangle around the area you want to examine. (Don't worry is it's not exact. You can still click-&-drag the zoomed area afterwards if needed).
Then use the blue '+' button, the top left of the map area, to zoom in further (again clicking-&-dragging to reposition the map if required).
