An excellent source for understanding the several local government boundry changes (and thus their effects on the location of records in Scotland) is a map provided by the Scottish Office. This map includes drill down maps of each local governmental area. Compare this map with GENUKI's County Map of Scotland to help locate the traditional county in which your area of interest lies.
