212 Saltmarket, Justiciary Building, Category A listed courthouse in Saltmarket, Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The Justiciary Building features a neoclassical design with seventeen bays on its main frontage and a hexastyle portico supported by Doric columns.

Completed in 1814 by architect William Stark, the building transformed into an exclusive judicial facility after the city council relocated to Wilson Street in 1844.

The structure represents the evolution of Scottish legal institutions, serving as the High Court of Justiciary for criminal proceedings in Glasgow.

Located at coordinates 55.8537°N and 4.24703°W, the courthouse contains nine courtrooms following extensions in 1997, 2007, and 2016.

A historical tunnel once connected the Justiciary Hall to Jocelyn Square, where 71 public executions took place during the building's early period.
