Hi Terianne

This is one of the best sources of info for workhouses in the UK and related matters. Search for Scotland and by county from the Workhouse Locations tab on the left.

Yes. But sometimes the censuses for people in institutions list them only by initials or part of their names.
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.
