Thanks all. 

Having not used the Scotlands People site until this week I appreciate the info.

Actually, I think the notice on the SP web site could have been more clearly worded :)

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.

Its confusing because on those particular entries, it does say certificates not available.
So can Truebrit not get a hard copy at all ?

Yes, he can get a hard copy. He just has to wait a few days longer before he can place his order.

Those 'certificates not available' notices are temporary, and they apply to all certificates, not just those ones, while SP is closed for the New Year holiday break. They will be back to work on 3 January and the certificate ordering system will be reactivated after they return.

As I have said, they could have worded it better.
