There are Scotish census records on here. Not sure about BMD records. :-S

Other than trees and census I don't think Genes has any Scottish records? Not BMDs anyway which I think you'll have to go to Scotland's people site for.

Genes has transcribed Census records for 1841 to 1901.

The original images plus 1911 census and Statutary BMD from 1855(?) are on Scotlandspeople, a pay to view site
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/welcome.aspx

You can also search the following for free on https://familysearch.org/search

Scotland Census, 1841
Scotland Census, 1851
Scotland Census, 1861
Scotland Census, 1871
Scotland Census, 1881
Scotland Census, 1891
Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950
Scotland, Marriages, 1561-1910

http://www.freereg.org.uk/ has some early parish BMD and http://www.deceasedonline.com/ has burial records. With the latter, you can search for free and get basic info - date of internment or cremation and possible date of death - but pay to view the full details on the burial register

Many thanks everyone for your help, I am registered with Scottish records but since I have a full subscription with GR thought, wrongly(!!), that they may provide. Oh well back to scottish records searching for MacDonald - not easy! :-)
