Hi Judith, You're right about being spoiled in England though it is asier to get copies of the older Scottish records, they can be printed online for a small fee (much less than the cost of and Eglish cert). My mother was Scottish, so I've experienced both sides. Here's one of the replies I got to my post: "The 75 year rule applies to Marriages, the 100 year rule applies to Births and the 50 year rule applies to Deaths. You cannot view the extracts of BMDs' online, nor can you print them out at Edinburgh or Park Circus but you can transcribe all the info held on the extracts yourself. As Liz says jocktamson or his little helpers go to Gros about 2/3 times a year and as he has just been last week it may be some time before he goes again. BUT.... if a member on here is going soon they may be able to help you if it was just 1 look-up required." The forum site is http://scotfamtree.11.forumer.com/ it might be worth seeing if anyone is going to the GRO's and would be willing to do a look up for you.

This is my one and only foray into Scottish records and it looks like we are quite spoilt in England compared to Scotland when it comes to ease of obtaining information.
