I’ll need to look at the deeds.
Before the neighbours garage was there, it was a path and I’d guess a sort of driveway for them.I would have thought the boundary line for my property would lie somewhere proud of my garage wall. It’s how far proud is the question. If it’s a meter proud then the neighbours garage is partly on my land.
But if it’s more like half a meter then it’s right on the boundary line.

Again, I don't know anything about Scots law, but in England, if someone built a garage on your land 20 years ago, it's not your land any more. Subject to many complex exceptions involving the Land Registration Act 2002 Schedules 4 and 6. Neither or which, I believe, apply in Scotland.
Bottom line, as ever, is a nice cup of tea, a friendly chat, and a solution which works for everyone. The alternative is a world of grief, years of stress, and paying arseholes like me enough money that we start thinking that maybe it's time for another Porsche.

Whose is the space in between the garages? Could you not build all the way up to your neighbours' garage and have some kind of party wall agreement? Or does the fact that it used to be access, even if it's not any more, mean that's too risky?
