It was Doors Open Days across Renfrewshire recently.
The annual event on different weekends in September offers the public the chance to see buildings or parts of buildings not normally open to them.
A popular one is Paisley Sheriff Court. It was my first court more than 20 years ago when I started as a weekly newspaper reporter.
It hasn't changed a huge amount since apart from being busier, and metal detectors.
But in my years, I've never had the chance to see a sheriff's chambers or the custody cells downstairs - part of the tour.
There was a steady steam of people making large groups being guided through courts 2, 1, 7 and 8, in that order, interspersed with the back rooms and basement cells.
In court 7, they had a quick mock trial. Most of the group sat in the jury box. One girl volunteered to be the sheriff. My husband volunteered to sit in the dock.
Then the accused was asked to confirm their identity: Miss Piggy.
We skipped straight to Kermit the Frog giving evidence against her.
There were chuckles but then we got to the case. Miss Piggy had been sending 200 messages and pictures to Kermit after their break-up. He did not wish this contact.
Miss Piggy was cleared in the end (I suspect they alternated outcomes by group).
But I felt uneasy. The sample messages, the unwanted messages - all hallmarks of actual and regular cases of domestic abuse in west of Scotland courts.
Days later, there was a press release from the Crown about new statistics on domestic violence.
Dorothy Bain KC, the Lord Advocate, the most senior prosecutor in Scotland, said there needed to be a "societal change" on domestic abuse.
In 2024-25, there were 30,227 charges relating to domestic abuse, up slightly from the year before.
One of five of those cases were prosecuted at the more serious level.
In an emailed press statement, Ms Bain said: "Gender-based violence and abuse is driven by underlying attitudes. It is vital that people across Scotland challenge these harmful attitudes and behaviours, be that in our own homes, among our friends, in work, education, social groups and elsewhere.
“The figures published today underline the importance of working together to tackle domestic abuse. Everyone should be clear that such behaviour is intolerable and has no place in our communities.
"We have a responsibility to build a future where girls can live free from fear and that involves holding abusers to account today while encouraging boys to grow into respectful men.”
Coercive and controlling behaviour charges were up 11%. Stalking charges were up 11% - with more than half involving some element of domestic abuse.
That's directly what Miss Piggy was accused of.
To introduce a court to families, you need "safe" names, so I get that choice.
And you need an alleged crime. I get that too.
And Miss Piggy has always been the joke - the fierce personality, driven by love to almighty whacks to Kermit or anyone else in her way. And it's funny because it's the woman attacking the man, right? Or pig-on-frog crime.
Given how common domestic violence and misogyny is, I had to wonder if any of the children sitting in the jury box has seen this very crime before. Or will experience it. Will they recognise it?
Scotland needs its people to understand the law, courts and how to treat each other. The country is currently failing on all three points. And Doors Open at Paisley Sheriff Court probably didn't help any of those.
My colleague Eszter Tárnai visited the High Court in Glasgow for their Open Days as well this week. Different court, different history and approach to a tour.
Meanwhile, for full disclosure, sometimes people complain about our court coverage. That is their right, just as it’s our right to report on court cases. It is a duty of the press to see justice is done. I was recently investigated over several months for covering a short trial. I was cleared and you can read the public details at IPSO.
