Welcome to Scottish Handwriting.com, the website offering online tuition in palaeography for historians, genealogists and other researchers who have problems reading manuscript historical records written in Scotland in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

The emphasis of the website is on practical help to improve the palaeographical skills, rather than on the academic study of Scottish handwriting.
