ScotlandsPeople

ScotlandsPeople (SP) is an online archive containing almost 90 million records covering genealogical information related to Scotland. The site is a partnership between National Records of Scotland and Court of the Lord Lyon. ScotlandsPeople offered 50 accounts to their database. Unlike some other TWL resources, ScotlandsPeople provided approved Wikipedia users with 1000 credits to use on the site to access online records, instead of a time-limited account.
