Yeah, I sometimes wonder about the Scotsman's verdict. I'm attracted to it as a form of public censure, but I think it's mostly used (there, anyway) in slap-on-the-wrist cases where the jury thinks they did something illegal, but not wrong, or not meriting the punishment. Sort of a lighter, nicer jury nullification. I could be wrong though.
