Sheriff Courts
With the exception of the searchable Judgments database, the following information is available for individual sheriff courts from the Court Locations page. Information of a more general scope, i.e. where the concern is not with a particular sheriff court, but with all or many of the courts, is available via the links below.
Opening hours of court buildings and public counters.
The Scottish Court Service made a commitment to give customers and the general public access to court buildings and public counters for 40 hours per week. The majority of our courts and offices have achieved this target. Details of opening times are available via Court Locations.
Local Holidays
Some courts are closed on local holidays. A list of all Scottish Court Service courts and offices is available, showing days they are closed for public and local holidays.
Daily Lists of Court Business
A searchable database of daily Court Lists is available and is held for 5 business days [inclusive of and following the current day].
