Kylie Cockburn

She was among the assistants selected for the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Slovakia, 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan and the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay, and in December 2018 was selected for the upcoming 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France the following June, the only Scottish official to be involved. At the finals, she assisted on the field at three matches and was also in the Video Assistant Referee review room at two others, which she described as "biggest and most enjoyable experience of my refereeing career".

Having officiated at women's domestic matches, and in the early stages of the UEFA Women's Champions League from 2012, her appointments in the men's Scottish Professional Football League lower divisions commenced at the start of the 2013–14 season. By the end of that campaign, her performances were considered good enough for her to run the line in a Scottish Premiership fixture between Hearts and St Mirren, making history as the first female official to be involved in a men's top-tier match in Scotland (Morag Pirie had set several other milestones during the previous decade).
