New visitors may want to read about the Scottish Court Service or find out more about the Judiciary of Scotland, or the Supreme Courts, Sheriff Courts or Justice of the Peace Courts. We have tried to provide information for many of our court users, whether visiting for the first time or professionals working in our courts. We value your feedback and welcome your suggestions, so please us as we continue to develop this site.
