Could have a look at Scotsorigins com They do births and marriages but not fairly recent ones. Its good to check first before going on Scotlandspeople or to do a double check with.

Hi Helen, Thanks for the trouble you have taken. I read this, but had a niggle somewhere that there was another site. Still will ignore the niggle and go into this. Many thanks.

This is from their website: ScotlandsPeople is the official online source of parish register, civil registration and census records for Scotland. Containing nearly 40 million records, the ScotlandsPeople database is one of the world’s largest resources of genealogical information and one of the largest single information resources on the Web. We provide a fully searchable index of Scottish births from 1553-1903, marriages from 1553 to 1928 and deaths from 1855 to 1953. In addition, indexed census data is available from 1881 to 1901. To respect privacy of living people, internet access has been limited to birth records over 100 years old, marriage records over 75 years, and death records over 50 years. From the results of an index search made on this site you may view, save and print images of many of the original documents, and order extracts of any register entries of interest. Such requests are forwarded automatically to New Register House, and the requested extracts are mailed to you (airmail in the case of overseas orders). Helen
