Hi,
Could anyone advise how to access the register please? I’m struggling to find a link on the govt. website.
Thanks

They would not be open to the public.

Write to the local registrar

Still-births are recorded from 1939 but are not available online. Extracts of still-birth records from 1939 onwards are available from National Records of Scotland for a fee. Due to the sensitive nature of still-birth registrations, these extracts are usually only issued to the parents of the still-born child. However, siblings of still-born children may apply, either with the express consent of a parent, or on their own behalf, where they can demonstrate that their parents are no longer alive.
