The Scottish Emigrants database .... a searchable database of emigranst from Scotland to non-european destinations

Quote
The Scottish Emigration Database currently contains the records of over 21,000 passengers who embarked at Glasgow and Greenock for non-European ports between 1 January and 30 April 1923, and at other Scottish ports between 1890 and 1960. 

It was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and was based at the University of Aberdeen's AHRC Centre for Irish and Scottish Studies.

Records covering the first four months of 1923 have been deposited in the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) archive.

There is also a volume called A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the USA, pub. 1972 Baltimore, which covers up to 1855.  Reprinted 1981.

You should be able to find these in reference libraries.

Looks like it is a temporary thing from this message on the Aberdeen University website -

"The Emigration website is currently undergoing an update and will be back online as soon as possible.

Scottish Emigration to Canada in 1821

Peter McCulloch on the ship David sponsored by the Spring Bank 1 ( resident of Grahamston /Glasgow) and John Warnock on the ship Commerce sponsored by the Rutherglen Emigration Society ( resident of Rutherglen ). John and Peter were both weavers.

[b]I am looking for information about both of these societies[/b]; I have the lists of citizens they sponsored.
