A record crowd of 2700 people visited General Register House on September 22nd to view the new ScotlandsPeople Centre and the National Archives of Scotland, as part of Door Open Day. As a result, bookings for the two hour taster sessions have increased dramatically. An additional 1300 visitors popped in next door to New Register House, to find out about the General Register Office for Scotland the Court of the Lord Lyon.
