ScotlandsPeople Centre


Connect with past generations - in exclusive surroundings

The ScotlandsPeople Centre in the heart of Edinburgh offers groups of discerning visitors exclusive access to its world leading computerised record system for family history.

Enjoy access to over 80 million names in our databases stretching back 500 years, view images of original documents in seconds, and get step by step advice from our experts.

Trace your family tree, track down your ancestors and find out what life was like for them. You can do all this exclusively at weekends and evenings, in the magnificent surroundings of Register House, one of the masterpieces by world famous architect Robert Adam.

We can arrange receptions, lunches and dinners for small and large groups in a choice of impressive 18th century interiors. If you are bringing a family, clan or heritage group to Edinburgh, or if you simply want a unique experience in some of the most magnificent but least known rooms in the country, contact the ScotlandsPeople Centre.

Register House was designed by the Scottish architect Robert Adam to house the country's national records. Started in 1774, its magnificent interiors are as old as the United States.

The records are even older, tracing 900 years of Scotland's romantic and turbulent history. They include the first reference to whisky in 1494, laws banning the playing of golf and football in 1409, the earliest letter of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1550, letters of George Washington while fighting the French and documents about Rob Roy, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Robert Burns and other famous Scots.
