The marriage of a Danish Prince to a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II is among thousands of Scottish records made viewable online for the first time.
National Records of Scotland (NRS) said nearly 240,000 documents have been added to the Scotland's People website, including births in 1925, marriages in 1950 and deaths in 1975.
The marriage records include the wedding of Prince Georg of Denmark and Viscountess Anson, born Anne Bowes-Lyon, at Glamis Castle Chapel in September 1950.
The pair met during a ball at the Swedish Embassy in 1949.
The records have been released online on the National Records of Scotland. | PA/GETTYTRENDING

"This is also an opportunity to look back and acknowledge the remarkable lives captured in the records.
"We are delighted to bring these new resources to the Scotland's People website so researchers in all corners of the world can discover their Scottish ancestors."
