Thanks to John Reid at Canada's Anglo-Celtic Connections for the news that MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com) has added transcripts for the Scottish 1841-1901 censuses (see https://www.anglocelticconnections.ca/2021/09/05/myheritage-adds-scottish-census-collection/).
This adds to the limited extracts previously only available from the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Scottish censuses, and follows on from a similar release in June to TheGenealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk) for the same census years for Scotland (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2021/06/thegenealogist-adds-1841-1901-scottish.html).
Note that the providers of Scottish census transcripts do not usually provide the full information contained within the records, with questions such as linguistic ability with Gaelic, the number of rooms with one or more windows, and some medical details, missing. The only place where the information is provided in its entirety is on the original images which have been digitised and hosted by ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk), which also exclusively holds the 1911 census, and at some point hopefuly in the next year, the 1921 census.
Remember that access to My Heritage's census collections is free until September 8th - further details at http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2021/09/myheriatge-offers-free-access-to-census.html.
Finally, kudos to MyHeritage - the census reference information for each entry on the Scottish entries looks fairly robust from an initial search.
(With thanks to John)
