A project is underway at the National Records of Scotland (NRS) to index valuation rolls for selected years and to make the indexes (linked to digital images of relevant pages within the rolls) available online, as well as in the search rooms of the NRS.
The indexes for 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1930, 1935 and 1940 are available in the Historical Search Room and the ScotlandsPeople Centre and on our ScotlandsPeople website. Indexes for further years will follow.
The indexes can be searched according to person, group or place (including property type, settlement name, burgh or county). The information contained in the index consists of the description and situation of each property and its proprietor, tenant and occupier. Each index entry is linked to the digital image of the original page in the valuation roll.
