Census Records

Census records give details of everyone resident in the Rows on census night (which was usually in the first week in April) in family groups. This index has details of the census for 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911. If you’d like to view an image of the original census record, these are available to buy from the ScotlandsPeople website.

Most of the original schedules aren’t available online, but can be viewed at the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh, or at the West Lothian Local History Library in Linlithgow. Selected years are available from the ScotlandsPeople website.
