About us

The purpose of the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) is supporting justice. We fulfil that purpose by providing the people, buildings and services needed to support the judiciary, the courts, devolved tribunals and Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) deals with over a quarter of a million cases and applications each year, which take place every day in our courts, tribunals and administrative centres across Scotland.

The work of SCTS covers a broader range of issues than you may think. In providing support to Scotland’s courts, devolved tribunals and the OPG, we touch the lives of many people on a daily
basis – be that through formal court or tribunal business, fulfilling your civic duty as a juror, paying fees or fines, seeking help in managing the affairs of an incapable adult or dealing with the estate of a loved one who has passed away.
