There are 49 Sheriff Courts in Scotland which cover a particular Sheriff Court District. These Districts are separated into 6 Sheriffdoms each comprising the various courts in its area.

The Sheriffdoms and each of the courts in their area are shown below for anyone who is interested.

The Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin

Glasgow

The Sheriffdom of Grampian Highland and Islands

Aberdeen - Banff - Dingwall - Dornoch - Elgin - Fort William - Inverness - Kirkwall - Lerwick - Lochmaddy - Peterhead - Portree - Stonehaven - Stornoway - Tain - Wick

The Sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders

Duns - Edinburgh - Haddington - Jedburgh - Linlithgow - Peebles - Selkirk

The Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde

The Sheriffdom of Tayside, Central and Fife

So the question "Where" being answered by "Scotland" isn't very helpful.

I knew generally, but not specifically (apparently, like you

).

I'm sorry for not being very helpful, but I don't know. I know everything there is to know, just not this.

Not your fault, my little oxymoronic chum - just when you stated the date with such precision, we thought you knew the location equally precisely.

C'est la vie......

After reading through this thread, I noticed that the phrase "up to" still being used? I thought that after The Gadget Show folk got a petition up which was well supported by the public, that it made the ISPs remove that term from their adverts.
Cheers, Smudger.

They can't remove the phrase 'up to' - it is either an ASA or OFCOM requirement (can't remember which)

Was it "up to"? I thought it was "unlimited"?
You can't really take the "up to" from ADSL providers because it will be "up to" due to line quality/length. Virgin cable adopted the "up to" term long after ADSL were using it.

I think without a target minimum the up to is as Turkey Machine says too much of a get out clause.

You mean like this caph?
