Thank you both so much.  I've only recently begun researching my Scottish ancestors, the McNairs, so knowing where to look is very much a work in progress.

Where to look, basically, is Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
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.
