To commemorate the recording of the next census, Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) is offering 24 hours free access to all of its UK census collections from 1841-1901 on March 27th, including those for Scotland.
For more on the offer visit Ancestry's Kelly Godfrey's post at http://blogs.ancestry.com/uk/2011/03/21/free-census-access-%e2%80%93-27th-march/
Bear in mind that Ancestry's transcriptions for Scotland do not include marital status, or details about knowledge of Gaelic from 1891 onwards - however the databases do have more search fields available than on the ScotlandsPeople website.
(With thanks to Ancestry)
