Run this is in a directory of "printer friendly" html files saved from Scotlandspeople. Output is a tsv from all the files. For the valuation rolls, the columns are number (of output line on report page, so not useful), Year, Status (of ownership/occupation), Title, Surname, Forename, Place, Parish, County/Burgh, Reference.
