    online Scottish records

I've been to my GGF's grave at Coulsalmond, but couldn't find records of Peter's parents. Now that the internet is better, is there an inexpensive way to search from home?
    You might try these links:

    http://www.nas.gov.uk/

    http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

    http://www.familyrecords.gov.uk/

    http://scotfamtree.11.forumer.com/index.php/

    but none of them is particularly inexpensive, by US standards. In stereotypically Scots fashion, they get every nickel and dime out of the researcher they can, even the government's sites. The other day I came across some one on eBay who says that her rates are cheaper, but did not bookmark her. You could probably find her in search there. I think she lives in NZ or Australia.
