There were also 12 fewer civil partnerships during the third quarter of 2013 when compared with the same period in 2012, with 194 ceremonies taking place – 87 of which were male, and 107 female.
Other key findings in the latest births, deaths and other vital events revealed that 14,510 births were registered in Scotland between 1 July and 30 September 2013. This is 1.2% fewer than in the same period in 2012. While, when compared with the same period in 2012, the number of deaths from cancer fell by 2.8 % to 3,827, deaths from coronary heart disease fell by 11.6%to 1,585, and there were 982 deaths from stroke (a rise of 0.3%).
Tim Ellis, Chief Executive of National Records of Scotland, said: "Today's statistics show a fall in the number of deaths registered in Scotland, to the lowest number recorded in the third quarter for at least 40 years.
"However, taking the first three quarters of the year together, there were slightly more deaths than in the same period of 2012. The number of births also fell, continuing the trend of gradual decline since 2008. Levels of births and deaths are both relatively low in historical terms and since 2008 there have generally been more births than deaths.
"With an 11 per cent fall in the number of marriages the quarter three total is at its lowest level for at least 40 years."
