Records of the Court of Session. The electronic catalogue contains the basic lists of court registers which have to be ordered out and searched to identify the individual processes associated with them. We are currently transferring the information in the registers into our electronic catalogue so that they can be used as an index to surviving processes, and to identify actions which took place but for which no processes survive.
- CS31-CS42 (Acts and Decreets 3rd series, 1810-1821)
- CS43-CS44 (Acts & Decreets 4th series, 1821-1829)
- CS46 (Acts & Decreets, 5th series, 1830-1899)
- CS228-CS250 (Unextracted processes, 1660s-1912) work is in progress on these.
- CS272/1 (Bill Chamber Petitions)
- CS281 (Bill Chamber Petitions in Sequestrations 1856-1955)
