I was trying to find the Kirk Session records for 18thC Rothiemurchus in Scotland's People Virtual Volumes but without luck. Can anyone tell me if they are there and I'm being a moron or haven't been digitised/don't exist? Many thanks

But...when you select it there is nothing available.

Yes, that's what I got too. Not just me then! Thanks for looking.

Probably because Rothiemurchus isn't a separate parish in its own right. It's part of the united parish of Duthil and Rothiemurchus. https://stataccscot.edina.ac.uk/static/statacc/dist/parish/Inverness/Duthil%20and%20Rothiemurchus
The surviving Duthil KS record are on Scotland's People https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/virtual-volumes/record-creator-search/sessions-volumes?rex_uid=REX00766&placename=Duthil%20kirk%20session
Not all the surviving KS records are available on SP. If you want to check which KS records have survived as opposed to which ones are on SP, go to The catalogue of the National Records of Scotland https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/search.aspx,
type in the name of the parish and then CH2 in the reference box if you want the Church of Scotland and CH3 if you want other churches.
