For Scotland they are: 100 years for births, 75 years for marriages and 50 years for deaths. Individual records that fall within this range are "protected" from general availability/ distribution." I think you may be a bit wrong. I suspect that as a visitor to New Register House you would be able to obtain a B M or D record even as recently as 2006. Email me directly with a specific event you want, and I'll give it serious review.
