Huh. TIL! I knew Scotland doesn't have a coronial system, but I assumed given the relatively recent reforms to treasure in E&W similar rules would have been brought in UK-wide and cases would just go to the local Sheriff.
Looking at the Scottish Treasure Trove website Scots law does look more sensible than the old English position, so I suppose they just decided not to interfere.
