The National Library of Scotland website at www.nls.uk has had a makeover, and is often the case with such revamps these days, this may take some getting used to. The developers have clearly decided that the PC is dead, opting for a tablet friendly interface, which means, you guessed it, more scrolling to get to the content you wish to find. The text for topic headlines has also been magnified massively, just in case you miss it.
Locating digitised resources takes a few steps - go to Collections on the home page, then click on Collections on the page returned, then scroll down to Digital Gallery. One of the menu options here is Family history, which takes you to several content collections previously available (and seemingly the pages for these have not been redeveloped).
The mapping platform has mercifully just had a cosmetic change, and can still be found at https://maps.nls.uk.
Explore the site for yourselves at www.nls.uk.
