If they were Church of Scotland the Old Parish Records may have them but in many parishes the records were poorly kept or failed to survive.

If they were Catholic the RC records may have some details but require to be searched separately.

If they were Presbyterian but not Church of Scotland - those records are not online

If they were of another faith or denomination the records are not online although you sometimes find some non conformist records on Family Search

Thank you,

I will have a look on the link you have given me.
I have no idea which denomination they were as yet ,I will take a look at the marriage I have for them to see what it shows.
