Hi Ray Ancestry has the 1841 to 1901 Scottish censuses but not the actual images. They are a good tool, even allowing for some of the woeful transcriptions, in narrowing down searches on Scotlandspeople. The links on an earlier posting are to transcriptions of various members of the family but you have to be an Ancestry subsciber to open the links.
