I needed to look up some terms in a Scottish document that mentioned my ancestor, and found this book very useful:
A Dictionary and Digest of the Law of Scotland, With Short Explanations of the Most Ordinary English Law Terms. To which is Added a Supplement, Containing an Analysis of the Court of Session Act, the Advocation and Suspension Act, the Diligence Act, and the Entail Excambion Act – William Bell

It's one of those resources that could swallow up an hour or two!
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.

The title trips off the tongue, doesn’t it!
Re: Scottish Legal Dictionary
But it is a legal dictionary so I expect they wanted to cover everything!.
