Order the Admission Form for this Patient

These records can help you trace your family tree and understand the lives of your ancestors. Order a copy of the admission forms and register entry for £15.00. Watch our video to find out what you will receive.

For entries in this index after 1858 there is an entry for each patient in the ‘Notices of Admissions by the Superintendent of the Mental Institutions’. For the research fee of £15.00 we will supply the entry from the ‘General Register’ and also locate the more detailed admission forms for you. These forms are held by the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh and are largely unindexed. You can view an example of the admission forms.

As this involves a trip to the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh it can take a few weeks to process your order. We usually try to complete all orders within 3 weeks.
