From ScotlandsPeople

Images of Minor Record births are available here on ScotlandsPeople up to 1907. For index entries after 1907, you may wish to order an extract to see the full details of the register entry. See Extracts for more information.

The Scotland's People index now lists all births (and deaths) until very recently. You can't view a 1948 birth certificate online but you can get access to the information by one of the more traditional methods:

- order a copy of the certificate from the GROS (direct or via SP)
or
- hire a researcher to transcribe the details of the certificate you want
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
