This web site may not be cheap but it has Scottish parochial records back to
the 16th century:

http://www.origins.net/GRO

Here is an extract received on 17 July 2001 from the site:

"FREE SURNAME SEARCH ON SCOTS ORIGINS.

Origins.net has just added a free surname search on Scots origins, which
works in the same way as the current feature on English origins which many
of you may have used. Users will now be able to enter in the surname of
their choice, and search across all the datasets for occurrences of that
name BEFORE they commit to paying the £6 (8.40022 USD or 16.46 AUD) to
register.

Users will be able to search across all the years available on the current
Scots Origins database (1553 to 1899), or narrow down their search to a
specific time period (e.g 1800-1820). Please visit:
http://www.origins.net/GRO to access this feature from the homepage.

If you have any further queries about this facility or about
www.origins.net in general, please send address your enquiries to:
."

Regards

Richard Featherstone
