Research your family from 1553 to the present day for only £15 per day
The Burns Monument Centre in Kilmarnock provides access to Scottish records covering almost 500 years.
Through the ScotlandsPeople software available at the centre you can access Statutory Birth, Death and Marriage Records from 1855 to the present day as well as Census Records, Old Parish Records, Wills and Testaments and various Minor Records.
Whether you are just starting to look into your family or you are a professional researcher, the resources at the Burns Monument Centre are invaluable. Friendly staff are available to help and the fee of £15 includes access to a PC and the ScotlandPeople software for a full day which is cheaper than buying credits and using the system at home.
