The drought on new Scottish records continues with FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk), but they have released a new collection which may contain some Scots and Irish names:
British Royal Navy, Battle of Trafalgar Prize Book
In partnership with the National Museum of the Royal Navy, we've digitised one of only two surviving copies of the 1805 Trafalgar Prize Book, which contains the names of sailors who received payments after the battle. If your ancestor was involved in the Battle of Trafalgar, their name may appear within these 17,050 extraordinary new records.

The Prize Book isn't the only way to trace your family's ties to the Battle of Trafalgar - you can also explore 18,115 naval records within this new collection.
