Documents for service on Ministers of the Crown or UK Government departments in Scotland should normally be addressed to:
The Advocate General for Scotland for and on behalf of [the relevant Secretary of State, etc.]
Office of Solicitor to the Advocate General for Scotland
Victoria Quay
Edinburgh
EH6 6QQ
However, agents should consult the terms of the Crown Suits (Scotland) Act 1857 and the Scotland Act 1998 for guidance.
Documents served on the Advocate General in connection with his functions under the Scotland Act 1998 should be served on "The Advocate General for Scotland" at the above address.
If documents are served in a format or on addresses other than the one above, that can cause unnecessary delay and service of the document may be ineffective.
