I don't know for certain but I would start with the Scottish Archive Network http://www.scan.org.uk/aboutus/default.asp
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I take it you have already tried the newspapers to see if there is anything there?
