Scots law is such that a conveyancing deed involving a foreign party would have to be in the English language. In addition, the Scottish registration process involves an English language application form being submitted to RoS, along with the deed to be registered, by a Scottish solicitor. Any subsequent correspondence between RoS and that solicitor would be in English.
