Mmm, there’s the rub Forfarian, not to be trusted!

How are you accessing this census data? I find it pretty hit & miss, but you seem to have got the hang of it

I use transcriptions on FreeCEN, which are far and away the best available, but they are a long way from having transcribed all the available census, so if FreeCEN doesn't have the one I am interested in I also use a commercial site which is better than Ancestry (not difficult!) but still leaves a lot to be desired.

The best source of all, of course, is the originals at Scotland's People.
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.
