What is the difference between searching the records at the Centre, and searching online at the pay-per-view site (scotlandspeople)?
The ‘pay-per-view’ website is operated by ‘Brightsolid’ and has different search functions because it has been developed totally independently to the search application at the Centre. The General Register Office for Scotland does not allow browsing of the statutory records and this is particularly important for the modern day records because the people may still be living. The ‘pay-per-view’ website only has index entries for modern day records, which means that these records cannot be viewed.
