I remember when they released the 1901 and it went into overload, I hope things have improved since then! Thankyou ladies!

No definite date yet.



http://www.1911census.org.uk/scotland.htm

The 1911 Scotland census was taken on the same date as for England & Wales, the night of Sunday 2nd April. The returns gave a population of 4,759,445, that is 2,307,603 males and 2,451,842 females, an increase of 287,342 over 1901.

Accessing the 1911 Scottish Census .... when will the 1911 census for Scotland be released?
The position in Scotland regarding access to the Scotland 1911 Census differs from that in England and Wales. The Census in Scotland is devolved to the Scottish Parliament and Administration and the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 exempts personal Census records from disclosure until after a 100 year closure period.

So, while 1911 Census information for England and Wales was made available at the start of January 2009, the Registrar General for Scotland does not plan to release the Scottish 1911 Census information until just after the date of the 2011 Census (27 March 2011), by which time "the 100 year closure period will have ended".
