  Ancestry is a valuable repository that should be used in conjunction with ScotlandsPeople. It sometimes has records that the other does not and vice versa. This is due to indexing errors. The spellings of names in Ancestry is most often mangled making searching trial and error, while ScotlandsPeople has made a significant effort to standardize spellings.
