Scottish Prison Records.

Are Scottish Prison Records viewable at General Register House and New Register House? I'm looking to get a copy of a record and was wondering if they are available, if anyone is going at anytime and was able to look it up and send me the details it contains?

The record possibly relates to my GGGrandfather. I have enclosed the details in case anyone is able to help.

Name Joseph Tennis

Year Jailed1834

Age28

Estimated Birth Year1806

Sex M

Prison Edinburgh BridewellCountyMidlothian

NRS ReferenceHH21/6/5 p. 235

I assume you have visited the NRS website, but might have missed this:

See https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files//record-keeping/legislation/NRS_-_FOI_-_202200293798_-_Request_for_access_to_prison_records_%28HH21_71_47%29_-_Website_release.pdf

You might wish to proceed along these lines, but initially you could make an enquiry through referring to their contact details page at https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/about-us/contact-us.
