A Scottish marriage

 In doing some of my Sherlockian / Doylean research (221bcooee.blogspot.com), I ordered this Scottish entry of Marriage. I have not worked with Scottish records a great deal, and the indexes are bot particularly helpful. Furthermore, they all require payment.

As such, while this is not useful to me, I post it here in case it is useful to someone. Some day.
