You could visit New Register House (general registrars of Scotland) in Edinburgh - costs £10 for a days unlimited searching - most images have been digitised. If this is out of the question, you could contact them and order a copy to be sent to you. On scotlandspeople.gov.uk you would be able to get the image reference number, but not view the image as there is still a 100year rule when it comes to viewing births online (75 years for marriage & 50yrs for death).
