## Description

Scotland’s People is a resource for exploring Scottish heritage and researching family and local history. Its website brings together searchable historical records, with tools to look for people, places, record creators and specific volumes. Users can refine searches by name, date and place, and use options such as fuzzy, phonetic and wildcard matching to account for spelling variations. The collection includes church court records, Ordnance Survey records and Name Books, tax rolls, Scottish Cabinet records, maps and plans, and image-library material. The site also highlights newly released collections, including records from congregations that broke away from the Church of Scotland during the 18th and 19th centuries. For people seeking official documentation, Scotland’s People offers ordering services for birth, marriage and death certificates. Additional support includes research guides, news and articles, information about visiting, and a family history course intended to help users trace their Scottish heritage. Visitors can also sign up for a newsletter covering record releases and updates.
