For the information of Listers who do not subscribe to Scottish Documents newsletters, I have pasted below a message I received today: ************** www.scottishdocuments.com update - December 2002 User demand triggers latest update of 27,000 wills. Waiting times slashed!! In response to the numerous requests of our users to make images of the wills available sooner and faster ScottishDocuments.com has harnessed information technology to link images to their index entries by an automatic process. All this means that you can now can buy documents from the following courts:- Dundee Wills, Inventories and Confirmations, 1832-1875 (SC45/31/1-26) Elgin Wills, 1823-1875 (SC26/38/1-12) Elgin Inventories 1824-1875 (SC26/39/1-12) Jedburgh Wills, Inventories and Confirmations, 1827-1875 (SC62/44/1-59) Kirkwall Wills, Inventories and Confirmations, 1827-1875 (SC11/38/1-8) Kirkwall Wills and Confirmations, 1824-1875 (SC11/41/1) Lerwick Inventories, 1827-1875 (SC12/36/1-6) Lerwick Wills and Confirmations, 1859-1875 (SC12/37/1-3) Nairn Inventories, SC31/35/1 1839-1875 (SC31/35/1) Nairn Wills, 1839-1875 (SC31/34/1) Paisley Wills, Inventories and Confirmations 1824-1875 (SC58/42/1-43) Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of these links, but there is no substitute for human input! Our linkers check each index entry for accuracy and add a detailed description of the document. They will continue with this important work over the next year. But this exciting new development means that months of waiting have been eliminated. In the meantime, you will find that these entries have less supplementary information about the documents themselves. In addition, manually-linked documents from the following courts are now available: Glasgow Sheriff Court Inventories & Settlements 1804-1875 (SC36/51/1-69) Dumfries Commissary Court 1624-1823 (CC5/6/1-21) Dunblane Commissary Court 1539-1659 (CC6/5/1-10) Lauder Commissary Court 1561-6, 1634-41, 1652-3 (CC15/5/1-3) Moray Commissary Court 1684-1827 (CC16/4/1-10, CC16/5/1-3) Peebles Commissary Court 1681-99, 1785-1824 (CC18/3/1, CC18/4/1-5) Ross Commissary Court 1802-24 (CC19/1-2) Stirling Sheriff Court inventories 1809-1831 (SC67/36/1-12) These new additions mean that latest version of www.scottishdocuments.com now includes high-quality colour images of over 200,000 Scottish wills, testaments and inventories for sale at just 5GBP per document.
