The IGI has births upto circa 1875 but not all are online.

SP is pretty cheap compared with £7 for an Eng & Wales Certificate. Also, have you looked at the thread on optimising searches on the top of the Scotland General Board:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,43916.0.html

Many of the major Record Offices in Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen that I am aware of) do have an online search facility that you can use at a daily rate.

Hi Jayne

Scottish births and marriages for the period 1855-1875 have been transcribed by the IGI direct from the Registers and include I belief all births and marriages for the period.

What I find really helpful is checking the IGI extracted records first and then, using the date and place, finding the original certificate on Scotlands People. Saves money on wasted searches and you can be pretty sure you've got the right people. Also, sometimes, you get little gems of information that you didn't expect from the certificates.

I'm referring to the period from 1855 when civil registration commenced until 1875. My understanding is that all have been transcribed and certainly I have found all I have looked for. The major advantage over pre 1855 transcriptions is that its from the civil register and not the parish records.
