Nitpick: I believe it is the High Court of England and Wales, not the High Court of the UK. The High Court in Scotland is the top level criminal court with the equivalent to the High Court of England and Wales being the Court of Session...

This is correct, though I suspect the UK government aren't going to try and disobey the ruling just in Scotland.

I would assume they‘ll appeal and go to Supreme Court then the ruling would apply everywhere in the UK. But even then GCHQ is in England wouldn’t their actions fall under English law?

Assuming they're allowed to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, of course.

The Court of Appeal would be the next step.
