Sheriff court threshold
Under section 39 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, civil claims with an aggregate value of £100,000 or less, excluding interest and expenses, must be raised in the sheriff court and cannot be brought in the Court of Session.
Supreme civil court
The Court of Session sits only in Edinburgh, at Parliament House, Parliament Square EH1 1RQ, alongside the High Court of Justiciary. Its jurisdiction covers the whole of Scotland, so a Court of Session action raised from Inverness is heard in Edinburgh.
