Scotland Death Records and Procurator Fiscal

I've just received a paper copy of my grt grandfathers death records from Scotlandspeople as they were unreadable online. He died 20/2/1903.
Along with the death entry I have a copy of the Register of corrected entries.
The info on the RCE is the same as the death entry ie no change to cause of death etc. Infact the only change is to the time of death which on the death entry says 3h 15m PM and on the RCE the word "about" come before the time.
The place of death is 160 Cathcart Street, Glasgow which I am presuming was his home at the time. His cause of death (heart failure) was certified by a casualty doctor. Does this mean he died at home but was taken to casualty to be certified? Or would this have been a police doctor?
The Dep Procurator Fiscal signed off the RCE on 29th March 1903 - why did it take over two months?
Would I be able to access the Proc Fiscal records on this case and if so how do I do that from England?
Sorry to ask so many questions.
