The ScotlandsPeople Scottish Women's Land Army collection includes the surviving index cards of the Scottish Women's Land Army and Timber Corps from 1939 to 1950. However, the collection also has an online barrier to access, with a closure period for those born less than one hundred years ago.
As part of its recent update, the site has now added more than 2000 records for women born in 1923 who served. You can search the collection at https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/advanced-search/employment-records/scottish-womens-land-army/swla#form (you need to be signed in).

It’s a right pain in my Mum’s case. She died 10 years ago but I can’t see her records as she was born late 1924 ☹️
