Tracing Magnus Smith Flett of Quoycrow, Dounby

I am interested in information regarding Magnus Smith Flett and his wife Mary Elizabeth nee Johnstone - they lived in Quoycrow, Dounby, Sandwich, Orkney - In 1920 my Grandmother, aged around three, was boarded out to this family from Glasgow and lived with them until shortly before Elizabeths death in 1933 - any information would be appreciated
