Researching Scottish family while living in England?

[mankyscotslass]

I'm Scottish, living in England, but want to start researching my family history.

Will I be able to do the bulk of the research online? Or will I need to go to the Scottish Records office in person for a lot of it? I know I need to pay for the searches on line.

I'm a total novice, as you can guess.

You can absolutely do it online! The Scotland's People website is (IMO) stupidly expensive but fab :)

Thank you, I'll start there.
