Hi Glen, when I view an individual record, I get a big orange star-thing in the top right-hand corner saying 'view original image' and a link underneath saying the same thing. I wonder why, if Ancestry don't actually have the rights to the images?

Also getting the error message on Scottish 1861 images. Just wondering if this is what they have been playing around with as the site has been a pain just lately. Maureen

Good evening all. It's me again. I've been looking up records on Ancestry from the 1861 Scottish census. Up until today, I have never been given the option of actually viewing the original images with scottish records. Today I have, but when I click on the view image link, I just get a message saying 'Error processing image request'. Anyone know what's going on?

Just checked and i don't get the option to view the image. Just the results screen. I thought that the legal position was such that Ancestry were denied the bmd as well as census images for Scotland.
