The Sheriffdoms (Alteration of Boundaries) Order 1996
By virtue of the Sheriffdoms Reorganisation Order 1974 (“the 1974 Order”), Scotland is divided into six sheriffdoms. This Order alters the boundaries of two of these sheriffdoms, so as to transfer an area around Chryston from the sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin into the sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway. The boundaries of the other four sheriffdoms remain unchanged.
