These records are an invaluable part of researching family history. Held at the National Records of Scotland on Princes Street, they very often contain information not usually found in the usual birth, marriage and death records. Bruce Bishop, who has many years’ experience and a vast knowledge of family history, will show what they contain and how they can help with your research.
