Family History and the Census

Censuses contain useful information for family historians, and people interested in Scotland's social history. The statistical reports from the censuses from 1801 to 1931 are available on the Histpop - The Online Historical Population Reports website.

Census records about individual people are kept confidential for 100 years to protect privacy. Access to older census records is described on our ScotlandsPeople website.
