Genhound - Scottish records

Genhound (www.genhound.co.uk) is a pay per view website with records from across the UK, including some significant content from Scotland.

The site also has a very useful glossary of terms found in Scottish registers of sasines and deeds located at www.genhound.co.uk/genped_inf.php?inc=genped_sasgloss.inc and a 'Geneapedia' of articles on various subjects from across the UK.

In addition there is a list of records by county at www.genhound.co.uk/genped_inf.php?inc=genped_countylist1.inc - if I look up Perthshire for example, I find the site has a list of Glenalmond College council and staff from 1845-1929.

From the site's press release:

Searching is free and users can see a snippet of text from the document that surrounds the name they have searched for. They can then purchase the relevant pages a fraction of the price it would cost to buy a CD version. Credits can be purchased for as little as £3.00 for 60 credits and most records (usually a single page but sometimes more) cost between 8 and 18 credits (ie 40-90p), depending on the item. There is no time limit for using up the credits. Genhound is currently running an introductory offer of twelve free credits to all new users who register and sign up for our monthly bulletin.

Looks like this could be a very useful site to keep an eye on.
