My direct paternal line is the Dickson line. So far I've managed (with some assistance) to go as far back as William Dickson b c1764 married to Nelly (Helen) Cairns b 1764. They were married in Eckford, Roxburgh, Scotland 14/04/1786.
Where would the best place for me to look next to find parents of William and Nelly?

Hi Donna
This page gives you links to each county in Scotland and the OPR records which exist for each parish within the counties.

However, even if it says birth are from, for example, 1732 onwards, for a particular parish it does not mean that there are no gaps in the records!!
Best wishes
