Can I ask what is probably a stupid question!!? I've done much family research in England and used the parish registers way past the date of civil registration in England of 1837 (infact into the 1930's). Do parish registers in Scotland continue after civil registration in 1855? and if so can they be viewed? (and where). Also burial records are sparse for the parishes I am interested in in Argyll, would these have been recorded after 1855? and if so are they held anywhere. I know that scotlandspeople provide civil death's after this date. But often parish registers can reveal other things. Although it is true in England that after 1813 they become somewhat more formal. I'm mostly interested in the parishes of Strontian/Sunnart, Acharacle and Ardnamurchan. Thanks Morag Researching in Argyll: CAMERON in Strontian & Acharacle DEMPSTER in Glenhurich & Strontian
