About the event

Welcome to Scots Law Talks.

Join us for an exciting evening where we deliver our Criminal Law Series: Taking Secrets to the Grave!

This in-person event is a must-attend for anyone interested or curious in understanding criminal law in Scotland.

In this talk, we promise Real Cases, Real Crimes, Real Scotland again.

What happens when justice is served, but the truth remains buried? The trial is over, the sentence is passed, yet the victim’s final resting place is still unknown. Families are left in limbo, searching for answers that may never come.

In Taking Secrets to the Grave, we examine Scotland’s Parole System, uncovering how offenders are released and the legal and ethical dilemmas posed by those who refuse to reveal the fate of their victims.

Should parole be denied to those who withhold the truth? Should their silence mean they are never released?

Join us for a thought-provoking and challenging discussion on justice, secrecy, and the relentless search for closure.

Recommended for 16+ due to mature themes and discussion on crimes.

Whether you are simply curious about the subject or love 'all things true crime', or you are a student, this event promises to be both informative and enjoyable.

Light refreshments; teas and coffee are included in your admission.

We are delighted that The Montrose Playhouse will be hosting this event.

Doors open for the event at 6:45pm (or 18:45).
