Cursing the National Records of Scotland and their somewhat botched recent website upgrade for breaking lots of existing links to their content. Which can be a very big practical problem for researchers and their published work. Lots of their old website content now only available via a web archive. #website #NRS #NationalRecordsOfScotland #History #ScottishHistory #Archives

Melrose isn't even in Berwickshire 😜 Likely paper records muddling in Scottish Record Office / National Records of Scotland. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #School #Schools #History #ScottishHistory #NationalRecordsOfScotland #ScotlandsPeople #Archive #Archives #HistoricalResearch #Berwickshire #Melrose #Roxburghshire #Scotland
