The ScotlandsPeople Centre is a family history centre where visitors will gain access to key Scottish resources such as birth, marriage and death records, wills, census records and coats of arms, going back almost 500 years. Everything has been digitised so all the records will be available on computer screens at your desk.
General Register House and New Register House have combined facilities to create this purpose-built family history centre. The Centre will have four search rooms, a café, a shop and a seminar facility spread over the two historic buildings in the heart of Edinburgh.
Once the Centre is fully operational the cost for a full day's search will be £10 but there will be free two-hour taster sessions for visitors to get an idea of just how easy it is to start looking up your family tree.
The Centre will be open from 9:00 to 16:30 Monday to Friday.
The ScotlandsPeople Centre is a partnership between the General Register Office for Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland and the Court of the Lord Lyon.
