The records at the ScotlandsPeople Centre have all been digitized under the DIGROS (‘Digital Imaging of the Genealogical Records of Scotland’s people’) project. These images can be viewed (for a fee) on the ScotlandsPeople website or at the ScotlandsPeople Centre, where you can also see images of recent records (births for the last 100 years, marriages for the last 75 and deaths for the last 50) that cannot be viewed on the website.

Alternatively you can visit or contact the local registrar who originally recorded the event – but often you won’t know which to ask, hence the point of using the national indexes.

The digitized images are all you need for genealogy, but for official purposes (such as passports) you can order full certificates from www.gro-scotland.gov.uk.
