People hoping to trace their Scottish roots through the online publication of the 1911 census will have to wait until 2011 due to privacy laws.

From scotlandspeople website

In line with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, the 1911 census will be available in Spring 2011, once the 100-year closure period has elapsed.

Sorry am having a senior's moment and I can't recall when the 1911 Scottish Census will be available to access.

I think it is 2012 but I'm not sure if I have read this or have just made it up!

Thanks
