Knives, darts, cutlery, tools and ornaments are among the items which have been seized by security guards at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
Almost 800 items banned from court buildings were confiscated in the first 10 months of the year, figures show.
The possessions were confiscated from all visitors to the court, either from people accused of crimes, those appearing for sentencing, visitors to the public gallery or those paying a fine.
Work tools were the most common item confiscated over this year with 105 items taken. A total of 56 pieces of cutlery were confiscated and 28 ornaments.
Guards also found 24 darts and 21 knives.
Just five syringes were recovered, down from 15 last year.
The figures show that across Scotland, a total of 3,221 knives and 1,759 syringes were taken from people on entry to courts between January 2012 and October 2014.
A bayonet was taken from someone entering Edinburgh Sheriff Court this year and alcohol was the most common prohibited item seized, accounting for 3,540 cases in the three-year period.
Large numbers of consumer goods such as razors, DVD players, hair straighteners and even computer games consoles were also taken.
Tory justice spokeswoman Margaret Mitchell MSP said: “It is deeply worrying that people would even think to bring in these items.
“It shows a total lack of respect for the stature of the courts.
“Going into court should be a solemn, almost fearful experience but these people are showing a very casual attitude if they are bringing deadly weapons and drugs with them.
“If you carry a deadly weapon the likelihood is that you’ll use it and in the charged atmosphere of a court anything could happen.”
Dr Paul Arnell, an expert in Public International Law, Legal Systems, Human Rights and Constitutional Law, at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, said carrying a knife or syringe was “as natural as a smoker carrying cigarettes” for some offenders.
He said: “A factor in the findings may be that a significant number of people going to court are going to attend a criminal trial.
“There is a certain segment of society that are in court time and time again and they think nothing of carrying a knife or drugs.
“It can be hard for people to imagine but there are people who would never consider leaving their home without taking these items with them.”
A spokeswoman from the Scottish Court Service said that illegal items would be handed to the police while legal ones were given back to the person or a relative if they were imprisoned.
