-At [https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ '''ScotlandsPeople'''] one can search the indexes and obtain a digital copy of the record for a small fee within minutes. However, sometimes additional help is available from local registrars. For example, proof of death and close family relationship can make more recent records available that would otherwise be restricted by privacy laws.<br>
