Scot:

The first two digits are the value and the third digit is the number of
zeroes(expressed in pF).  So your 560 is 56 pF.  If it was 562 it would
be 5600 PF or 5.6 nF.

Watch out, seems to me if there is a letter after the number it changes
the range."

Possibly but not necessarily true. Some are labeled with theactual value. I have a bunch of small silver mica capacitors whichare dual labeled. If in doubt measure.
