The records you've been waiting for! The newly digitised 2008 Scottish Cabinet records have been added to, errr...(checks notes), ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk).
Once again, the National Records of Scotland has dumped recent government records of practically no use whatsoever for family history onto its dedicated family history platform, seemingly because it has simply nowhere else to put them, although the news release does mention that further records are available to comsult in the historical search room at General Register House.
You can read more about the release at https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/news/2024/2008-scottish-cabinet-records-to-be-released-online. Form an orderly queue now, and no pushing at the back there...!
Hopefully the annual update of actually useful records on ScotlandsPeople will happen shortly.
