Had you been in Brighton, there would no doubt have been a line-up waiting to assist with the request. ;)

sorry, didn't mean that to sound anything like as condescending as it does now that I re-read it :o. God knows if there's putting in place to be done I'm more often the put-ee than the putt-er. Certainly no need to apologise

Assuming Scottish Highers are equivalent to A Levels (I'm a Canadian and so I'm not sure) your daughter would have to complete an Undergraduate Bachelors Degree with very good marks and also get a good score on the Law School Admission Test ("LSAT") to get into a Law School.
Having said that, back in my day one could submit an application with two years of a Bachelors Degree under one's belt, assuming of course that one had a very high Grade Point Average and a great LSAT score. Not sure if that is the case today. As for Law Schools, Alberta has two and they are at the UofCalgary and UofAlberta (Edmonton). Both are pretty good but keep in mind that there are Law Schools all over the country and so she could apply to those Law Schools. Notwithstanding where she goes to Law School her LLB would be recognized everywhere except perhaps Quebec in that they are under a different legal system.

Thanks for this thread!
I have a law degree (LLB) from a UK university, although I didn't continue onto law school, opting instead for a career in business. One option I am exploring is returning to study law and I am interested to understand how the UK version of the LLB is viewed in Canada and what additional conversion courses/qualifications I need to do. Will investigate further now.

Well, I'm glad you lot have been able to sort out the OP without my input. (Just got back from a mini-vacation but more of that elsewhere), but I hope it's now clear to the OP that to be a lawyer in Canada is not something you can start straight out of high school. Popular undergrad degree choices for wannabe LSAT candidates are philosophy, economics and increasingly, environmental sciences. But it doesn't really matter. Just be good at something.

Novo.
