Hi All,

If you come across any websites or sources that have helped you and are of particular use to the Scottish researcher then please post them here.

These links should be of use for general Scottish sources or where more than one county is represented.  There maybe more specific sites under the county forums - dig away... Grin

Below are some of the indispensable links for Scottish Research.

Good Searching,
Pam

Hi, you might also find the following website of use since it has many photographs of people in and around Alford in Aberdeenshire. There is information relating to places, people, history, and clans and families, and the website is increasingly being used as a local resource in genealogical studies in this part of North East Scotland.
