So, if someone threatens you, doesn't touch you but just verbally threatens to hurt you, that person can be charged under Scottish law? I must admit I didn't know that. What are guidelines for laying a charge?

I believe that here, Canada, verbal threats don't constitute an assault. There have many cases where women have asked for police help against spouses who have been threatening and stalking them. It seems that no matter how serious the abuse or harrassment is, the police can't do anything until a person is physically hurt, or worse.
