Celeste,
The spelling in Scotland is much more commonly McKelvie. The spelling McKelvey is more common in Ireland.
Allowing for this, I think you may be referring to the Isle of Bute. As an example, in 1841 there were a total of 390 McKelvie's in Scotland. Of these, 115 of them were living on the small Isle of Bute.
