Hunt for Scottish Prison Record

[lennon2011]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if there's a way to find a Scotland Prison Record?

I've found an 1891 Census with a distant Aunt in North Prison at Glasgow Cathedral Square but I've yet to find a reason why. I've searched Ancestry & FMP, tried the National Archives as well but nothing is coming up.

Thanks.

Whoopsies. It is Sophia McGovern born in 1869 in Johnstone, Renfrewshire Scotland. The census just noted Inmate and that her Occupation is Millworker Thread.

sorry had a good look but only found what you have.

The National Archives Prison index on Ancestry and FMP is for the borders prisons. It looks like other info on prison records is with the National Archives of Scotland
There maybe a newspaper report but nothing showing on FMP
