Just using the Scotlands People site and wondered if any of you good people would know if you can determin the actual quarter the record is in by the four figure number at the end of the reference. Ann

Can you give an example of the number you are looking at and what kind of record it is? The first part of the number is the parish number. Each and every parish in Scotland is assigned a number. For example Kildalton is 541 or 0541. In a census record the next number is usually the enumeration district and the last number is the page. For example 541/003/02 would be Kildalton / enumeration district 3 / Page 3 Usually the very last numbers in births, marriages and deaths are the entry numbers for that parish or district for that year. for example 063 would be entry #63 for that particular year. Perhaps I am thinking of a different part of the number.
