	Welcome to the boards, Inny. Some Scottish records are also on Ancestry, FMP, FamilySearch (free), and other sites - it depends what you're looking for. The 1911 Scottish census is ONLY on Scotlands People.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

	FreeCEN is also useful, but coverage varies by county; e.g., 30 counties complete for 1841 (other 3 are partial), but only 11 for 1871, and only Caithness goes to 1891. For coverage, I check https://freecen1.freecen.org.uk/statistics.html
