Criminal trials and fatal accident inquiries in Glasgow
Glasgow is one of the cities where the High Court of Justiciary, Scotland’s supreme criminal court, sits at first instance. Scotland has no coroner: a sheriff conducts fatal accident inquiries under the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016, arranged by the procurator fiscal, and the Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit’s West hub covers Glasgow and Strathkelvin.
- The High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow
- Hears the most serious criminal cases at first instance, including murder and rape, in the Justiciary Buildings at 1 Mart Street, Saltmarket; appellate sittings take place only in Edinburgh.
- Glasgow Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court
- Deals with criminal business alongside civil and commissary work at 1 Carlton Place, and from January 2027 will also host first-instance High Court sittings.
Fatal accident inquiries are mandatory after a death in legal custody or an accident at work; both criminal trials and inquiries draw on forensic psychiatric, psychological or other clinical evidence, work the register lists under criminal defence, fitness to plead and mental health.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Where would a Glasgow assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Glasgow listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Glasgow search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Glasgow experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Glasgow search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
