Hello Isobel

You would be able to get a Birth Register entry for Elizabeth Rogers on
scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
Although it is a pay-to-view site it only costs £6.00 for 30 credits (accepts a variety of plastic) which would let you check if the entry is the correct one for 1 credit then view/download/print the entry for a further 5 credits. If you locate her birth record you will probably want to go further back in the line so the unused credits will come in useful.
On a cautionary note. read their guidance notes after you sign in and before you start to search. A name like Rogers could be registered as Rodgers and the system allows the use of wildcards (*) in names so that either spelling would be brought up.

Its addictive though. Once you have one certificate you feel compelled to go further back, and you can go back to 1855 when Statutory Registration began in Scotland.

May she show up at first attempt!!   ;)
