Andrew Millard
ScotlandsPeople website has published online for free over a million images of Kirk Session records. These are not indexed, but this is a game-changer in terms of access. https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/virtual-volumes
They have a guide to the Sessions https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/record-guides/kirk-session-records
Records don't survive for all parishes but sometimes they do survive for times and places where the parish registers are lost. These records are an excellent resource for researching the lives of ordinary people.
