Scottish Indexes adds Scottish High Court Criminal Records guide

Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com) has added a new tutorial guide, including a ten minute video, entitled Scottish High Court Criminal Records, which provides guidance on records within its new collection, Scotland’s Criminal Database, with records indexed from 1800-1916.

The following is the team's ten minute video tutorial (also available at https://youtu.be/LnHoT66dr-4):

The collection is not complete, and will be added to over time. The full guide is accessible at https://www.scottishindexes.com/learninghighcourtadvanced.aspx#q2.

I can personally vouch for the brilliance of the records, they were ao detailed in the case of the murde rof my three times great grandmother in 1866 that I was able to write a book about it!

* Further info on Scottish court records can also be found in my new book, Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records (https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Scottish-Ancestry-through-Church-and-State-Records-Paperback/p/16848).
