Scottish records are held on Scotlandspeople which is a pay to view site.
Transcription of census to 1901 are on GR, Findmypast and Ancestry.

Familysearch do have some BMD as does Freereg. Both those sites are free.
Some cemetery records can be found on deceasedonline. You can search that for free, then purchase credits to see the full details.
