Statistical Accounts of Scotland

About this Resource

The Statistical Accounts of Scotland Online provides access to digitised and fully searchable versions of both the Old Statistical Account (1791-99) and the New Statistical Account (1834-45).

These uniquely rich and detailed parish reports, written by Church of Scotland ministers, detail social conditions in Scotland and are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history. The Statistical Accounts offer significant research material and unique insight into the history, trade, agriculture, geography, customs and education for every Scottish parish at key moments in the nation's history.
