Hi Helen

Have a look at www.TalkingScot.com

Maybe someone there can point you in the right direction. You have to register to post, but it's free!

GR has transcribed Scottish census 1841-1901, but not the images or the 1911. As previously posted, they are only on Scotlandspeople.

Obviously, if a GR member with Scottish Ancestors has added their tree on here, the names will come up on a Search All Member Trees result.

http://freereg2.freereg.org.uk/ does have some early Bap, Ma and Bur.

http://www.deceasedonline.com/ lists the burials in a number of larger cemeteries.

Other sites to search for burials (more usually if there is a headstone) are
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs&
https://billiongraves.com/ which often shows more detail than the corresponding entry on https://familysearch.org/
