If you have Australian connections, you may be interested to know that the Queensland Births, Deaths, and Marriages platform has been updated, to reflect the closure periods of 100 years for births, 75 for marriages, and 30 years for deaths:
Births: 1829–1925
Marriages: 1829–1950
Deaths: 1829–1995
You can access the records at https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au.
There are two possible ways to do so for historical research :
Historical registration - AUD $24.70 (online PDF)
Historical registration images are scanned copies of the life event records held in our registers. These images are not certified by the Registrar-General and cannot be used for official purposes.
We have made sure you get the best quality image of each record—age will affect the condition and how easy some records are to read.
We do not provide prints of images. The historical image you buy will be available for you to download and print from your own computer after you pay (from the receipt page) and in your QGov account.
Scans of church birth, death and marriage records up to 1856 may have 20 records on a page. Records after 1856 will usually have 1 image on a page.
Historical source images - AUD $24.70 (online PDF)
Historical source images are scanned copies of the records which are from the informant to the event. These images include scans of original registration forms collected from the informant of a marriage or death or the parents of a child in the case of a birth.
Not all events will have source images.

You can also buy certified copies, details via the site.
One great function on the site is that you search for people's deaths by their parents' names, if you are unsure which members of your family may have emigrated to Queensland. And the detail in the records is even better than Scottish records!
