There's a guide here:

However, please note:
Individual divorce cases which are less than 100 years old are not listed in our catalogue.

Before 1922 almost all divorces are listed on our catalogue with the exception of several decades of extracted cases covering the 1840s through to the mid 1870s. For divorces recorded in these years, the printed general minute books of the Court of Session (CS17/1) lead to card indexes to the cases.
