I came across this which I thought some here might be interested in. It is from the "Scotland's People" website - http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/co...ndex.aspx?1263

"The Registrar General for Scotland is planning to introduce a new public record to be known as the Book of Scottish Connections (BSC). For the first time, people all over the world, with a Scots connection, will be able to apply (for a fee) for a birth, death, marriage, or civil partnership abroad to be recorded in the BSC held by the Registrar General in Edinburgh (provided that the event has already been registered with the civil registration authorities of the country in question). A commemorative certificate of the event (and the Scots connection) will then be available from the registration service in Scotland, to be preserved as a part of the family history record.

If you think you might be interested in applying to have an event recorded please let us know by completing the online survey."
