Crown Counsel Procedure Books
This is an ongoing project to index the Crown Counsel Procedure Books for Scotland. These are important records as they provide a route in to a wide range of criminal records in Scotland. Specifically, it will help us produce an index to the Sheriff Court criminal records, which are a fantastic resource. Indexing the Sheriff Court records is much more challenging, but this index will help speed up this process. As we index the Sheriff Court records, we will be linking the two record sets together. We will publish the first tranche of Sheriff Court criminal records shortly here.
The Crown Counsel Procedure Books begin in April 1822, and so far we have indexed up to August 1856 (NRS reference AD9/1-16). The index currently contains just over 100,000 records. We will gradually be adding to this index over the course of this year.
