Bart, Scots law and English law are different.Codifiying came much latter 
in the 17th and 18th Centuary, when hand scribing would have been more 
commonplace with the repeal of certain laws and statutes a lot of common law 
would then be incorporated. Scots Law is based on Roman Law whilst English 
law is based on the French System,All laws are contained in the Houses of 
Parliament books, published by W. Green and Co, London. Also the Council of 
Ministers Statutes of the Scottish Parliament,European Directives of the 
council of Ministers and European Parliament are published Elsewhere.
your most 'umble servant,
