  Parish Accounts

The life and times of every parish in Scotland is given a full and colourful description in The Statistical Account of Scotland. 

These parish accounts were written in the 1790's, and again in the 1840's, by the local Minister of the Parish Church.

The Scottish Parish list will show you  in which County a particular parish is situated and when the Old Parish Register of births and marriages began in that district.
