Me too. Got so much information it's incredible, cause and time of death etc. Why aren't some of the English sites this informative? Pam

They have it organised really well don't they? I only began to appreciate this when I had to research someone who left Scotland. I think that the official sites here are greedy and lazy to be honest. Ok, they started earlier than Scotland so Scotland could learn from their mistakes but even so after all this time you'd think they could have sorted it out! Abigail

Hi I registered with this site today because one of my relatives was adopted in Scotland, I found her parents marriage but I can't view the image, just a grey page with symbols on the left. Can anybody help me with this please? Thanks Louisex

It shouldn't be just grey I don't think Louise, the images have always come up fine for me though I do have to magnify them quite a bit! If it isn't giving you the image then contact the help, as I think the symbols you are referring to are to navigate around the image itself. Good Luck Abigail

Hi Louise....Do you have a pop-up blocker on your PC? Sometimes that prevents the image from showing. If you disable it, that might be the answer. Also as Val already said, sometimes coming out of view the image, then clicking on view last image, sometimes it shows that way too! Good luck Christine

Jeanette, I sometimes have the same problem. I have found that sometimes the page is displayed under the results screen. If you push the top page to the side you can view it. Otherwise go to your previously viewed images and you will get it there. Christine.
