This means more than 3.3 million new records for you to search. We have freshly transcribed the records so that your search results are the most accurate possible.

The high quality of our transcriptions makes discovering the crucial details about your ancestors' lives quick and easy. It is not possible to view the original census images on findmypast.co.uk, due to the General Register Office for Scotland's licensing regulations.

This is the latest release in our ongoing project to bring you closer to your Scottish ancestors. Expect to see further Scottish censuses published on findmypast.co.uk in the New Year, following the 1841-1871 Scottish census records already added to the site.
