    In Scotland, criminal defence operates within a distinct system. The accused is represented in solemn or summary proceedings, typically guided by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service prosecutions but defended by a solicitor (and sometimes a solicitor advocate). Proceedings occur in sheriff courts or the High Court of Justiciary, with pre-trial disclosure, witnesses, and defences tailored to Scottish criminal procedure, and appeals to the Sheriff Appeal Court or Inner House.
