Am I right to think that DIY conveyancing is legal in Scotland?

I.e. that the buyer or seller of a house can act in person.

And would e.g. a seller's solicitor be guilty of obstruction if they

Not wishing to sound negative here, but if you don't know the answer
that basic question, would you trust your knowledge of the law enough
