The government records of births, marriages, and deaths in Scotland are known as "Statutory Registers". These records are an excellent source of names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. Since these vital records provide details which can prove connections to next-generation ancestors, and they are indexed and cover most of the population, these records are important resources for genealogical research.
