Locating Baptism Records
« on: Sunday 05 June 16 16:12 BST (UK) »
Hello
Am new to researching in Scotland, and whilst I've managed to locate some Birth Certificates of my ancestors, I'm struggling to find official Baptism Records. I know when and where the baptism occurred, and am hoping that an original certificate holds more information than what I have:

Christina Fraser (baptised 27.06.1886 at Cloichfoldich, by the Vicar of Weem). Cloichfoldich and Weem are within Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland.

Can anyone help in locating / where I need to go to locate?

thanks
