Scotland’s People and dates.

[HarrysMum]

Anyone know if Scotland’s People has corrected dates for the early 1700s?

I’ve looked on the site but can’t see it.

Specifically Feb 1726 and Nov 1727.

Thanks.

They will probably use the convention of the time, Libby, so uncorrected.
Is it a transcription?

In Scotland, the start of the new year changed to 1st January in 1600, so they shouldn't need to correct dates after then.

Wow, I didn't know that!
That's useful information. It could have been confusing adjusting between England and Scotland in those days.

Ooooh, I didn’t know that either.

Yes, it’s two very hard to read images. Both for baptisms of Margaret Stuart, daughter of Charles.
