"Tuckbox" - Scottish Genealogical Websites
​

Picture"Made in Scotland frae girders!"
As a wee girl growing up in Scotland, I loved sweeties and there are some distinguished old Scottish brands that are quite frankly iconic.  Who cannot think of Barr's Irn Bru whenever you see orange and blue and as for the birling Tunnock's Teacakes at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow - inspired!

So, just like my "Snacks" page of Irish genealogical websites, I thought I would put together a similar page for my growing list of Scottish links.  All the links that appear alphabetically below also appear, with more context, on my various other Scottish pages which you can find links for on "Settling Under the Saltire".

I've also included some extra ones because I've found them useful in my own research.  Don't forget to also have a rummage in the Store Cupboard 
for more general genealogical help.


We all know that snacking between meals can be bad for us, so just a reminder on what you can expect to see and a few words of caution - enjoy sensibly!  
  • All are FREE to access unless otherwise stated e.g. (£) or (members only.)  Some may require you to register.
  • Many of them are searchable databases of names or are links to the main reference sites for Scottish institutions or resources. 
  • All links are active and if there is a bullet point list below any site, I've just picked out a few sub-sites too that I use often or like.  Be sure to click on the main link though to go to the home page and do your own exploring. 
  • Those italicised and enclosed in "quotes" and/or suffixed with (e-book) will take you to some pretty huge files that can usually be browsed and text-searched on screen or optionally you may be able to download the entire volume if you wish.  
  • Those suffixed with someone's name are the work of generous fellow genies, past and present.  These are either in the form of published transcripts rather than original images (so are subject to the usual cautions about possible transcription errors) or are blogs or independent web sites with records and / or great finding aids or articles.  I can't vouch wholeheartedly for their authenticity nor agree with any opinions expressed of course - you will have to make up your own mind. 
  • I do try to check out all the links from time to time but inevitably some may become unavailable or broken - please let me know via my contact form and I will attempt to re-link to them. 
  • Finally, I strongly recommend that you have good anti-virus/firewall software switched on when browsing - I haven't had any problems so far with accessing these sites, but I'm afraid that might not hold true forever - mindless idiots and evil shysters think it's fun to wreak havoc with malware and we can but try to protect ourselves against them with whatever tools we have.​
