Not sure if rules are slightly different in Scotland but a fair few years ago any minor discretions on tickets can't be used as a loophole in order to get out of something!
I recently had to research this for a friend and afaik it is only on a motorway that the police can issue a ticket without needing to declare or have proof of your actual speed, their observations that you are in excess of 70 is enough for prosecution in court.
Now, I am not sure how this would work on a duel carriageway or major road with a limit of 60.
Your best bet is to visit citizens advice!
