Will depend on dates as Civil Registration began in Scotland 1855

It is a pay to view site and you would need to register first before buying credits

Scotland has different rules about information being available online so some of the newer entries you will not be able to download but would need to order from the Scottish General Register Office

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

This is the site you need. Costs £6 for 30 credits; 1 credit to view results; five credits to view and download certs, except as Glitter Baby said, the more recent ones.

You can also view the images of the censuses, which you can't do on Ancestry and Scottish certs give more info than English ones.
