The National Records of Scotland (NRS) is pleased to anncouce the change in pricing and payment method for purchasing wills and testament documents on the ScotlandsPeople website.
You can now view wills and testaments using the ScotlandsPeople credits rather than having to purchase them through a separate transaction. As an introductory offer we have reduced the cost of a testament from 5GBP to 10 credits each, which is roughly 2.33 GBP a saving of 2.67GBP.

The pricing for wills and testaments was originally based on the average cost for posting out purchased copies to customers. At that time, this was the best way of arranging the price, as the number of pages per document varied and so did the total cost.
So, in 2005, the records were launched on the ScotlandsPeople website at a cost of 5GBP for a full colour, authentic facsimile of the original document, regardless of the number of pages.
With the merging of NAS (National Archives of Scotland) and GROS (General Register Office for Scotland) to form the National Records of Scotland (NRS) in April 2011, we felt the time was right to reflect the fact that the records are from the same organisation, by standardising the payment process.
We are currently working on the launch of the 1902-1925 wills and testaments which will be online this summer.
