With the SP records, it's possible to put up the images in Gallery and link to them in the individual record.

As mckha489 says the collection descriptions say they are just an index, appreciate should be able to access with UK sub.

Thank you for your replies everyone.

I'm a regular user of ScotlandsPeople - wish they did some bulk discount, or offered 5 free credits for every 50 you buy or something, or even a sub instead of pay as you go!  I have more than 500 records in my saved searches, and at at least 6 credits each that's around ...... mumble mumble....a lot.  The earliest being a will from the 1590s that's almost unreadable.  I also use our local FamilySearch affiliate library to browse records.  I trawled through a couple of decades of 17th century Edinburgh baptisms (it's about 100 images each year) as there was no way I could afford to buy that many records and I was mostly looking for sponsors to help work out kith and kin.  So I'm very familiar with ScotlandsPeople.

My question in my first post was whether accessing these three particular record sets via Ancestry is working for others.

Yes.  But if I can link the new record set to my tree it will help them to come up as hints for others.  The actual images are already there on Ancestry showing the baptism and the father was called James, and a death notice from a newspaper that states the father was James, but quite a few people who decided to link these just added them and don't seem to have looked at them properly.

If they go to link this index Ancestry will point out that they're linking a record for a James to someone in their tree called Henry and hopefully they'll think about this.
