Payment on the day can be made by Debit or Credit card only.  Apple pay is also available.

Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult to use the facilities in the Genealogy Centre.

Where a person is to be accompanied by a carer, the carer will be admitted free of charge to provide assistance. Please contact the centre for further information.

A member of staff will demonstrate how to use and make the most of the facilities available, so that you can undertake your research independently.

Please note the more accurate background information that you have the more likely it is that you will succeed in your research

Please note that access is to the ScotlandsPeople Network only, and no other websites.
