The official GRO site for Scotland is http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, where you can order certificates online. You can also view scanned images instantly, for a fee that is less than ordering a hard copy. Not all images have been scanned (older ones especially), but many are. I can't tell you how much I have spent on this site - it's addicting! You can also keep your purchased images to view over and over, and even set them up in your account in a 'timeline' fashion, chronologically. For births, however, you can only go up to 1903; marriages to 1928; deaths to 1953. Starting years for each of these vary, including OPRs back to 1553! I am sure there are other methods, but this (for me in the U.S.) is by far the easiest and most successful.
