This is a brilliant free resource - The Statistical Accounts of Scotland, 1791-99 & 1845.

A new website has been rolled out here...

What a fantastic resource!  I am lucky enough to have original volumes of both the 'Old' and 'New' accounts, (my grandfather acquired the ones that dealt with Abernethy) but obviously not for scribbling notes on..... 
This site is amazing for background info.... thanks!
