This collection consists of three sets held at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh (AD14, AD15, and JC26), collectively titled Scotland’s Criminal Database. The index contains precognitions (AD14 and AD15) and trial papers (JC26) of the High Court of Justiciary, which is the highest criminal court in Scotland. Records may contain the full name of the individual, age, residence, date and place of the event, name of the court, and various information related to the proceeding.<br><br>The High Court deals with the most heinous of crimes, including murder and treason; however, appeals and cases of repeat offendors of more minor crimes may also be heard. Precognitions refer to a process before the trial undergone by the Lord Advocate’s office where witnesses would be examined and statements made. This information could then be used by the prosecutor. The trial papers consist of information collected during the trial, which may range from an outline of the accused’s foot to a summary of the indictment.
