Also possibly Castle Garden, the predecessor of Ellis Island-

Anything Scottish you find out on other sites, you should try to confirm on Scotland's People, run on behalf of the Registrar General of Scotland, with records going back to the 1550s-
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
That site includes SCanned IMAGEs of those early documents, which you can VIEW and Download to your PC.
