Not answering your Q - but you will find it handy to know where Scottish civil parishes are.
There's an 1890s map showing the parishes in any Scottish county at:

despite what is implied in the advertising,



GR does not have Scottish records


Scotlands People is by far the best site



ancestry also has Scottish censuses 1841 - 1901, transcriptions only
