Check out the London Embassy website - I believe (though I'm not 100%) that since Scotland is part of the UK, there's one form for everyone, goes through Scotland Yard?

You might find a better, more informed answer in the United Kingdom regional forum.

Good luck!

From US State department website, there is no seperate listing for Scotland.

Scotland POLICE RECORD

Available. [see United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (England and Wales).]

AND:

UK POLICE RECORD

Available. Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the National Identification Service, Subject Access Office, Room 331, New Scotland Yard, Broadway, London SW1 OBG.

This statement will serve to advise the consular office whether or not any criminal conviction is held against the applicant. The National Identification Service does not accept applications from individual applicants; the request must be made through local police. By law, it can take up to 40 days to receive a response. The fee for this service is 10 British Pounds Sterling.

Persons resident outside the United Kingdom should write to the Data Processing Officer of the police authority where they last resided in the United Kingdom to obtain the appropriate application form. Residents of the United Kingdom should apply to their local police station where they may obtain the application form. When completing the application form, the applicable category is “Prosecution/Conviction History”. The local police (or data protection officer), will submit the application to the National Identification Service and the response to the application will be sent directly to the applicant.

Applicants are legally entitled to gain access to the information about themselves under Section 7 of the British Data Protection Act, 1998.

Looks that way, though the wording on DOS site is a bit confusing, with persons residing out side UK, Scotland is inside UK.

I would be getting the report in Edinburgh.

Or you could keep the discussion in this forum, where it belongs.

You can go to any police station in the UK and get the Subject Access form you are looking for. Costs an entire 10 quid and you need a photo ID - fill it out and they will even send it in for you.
