I think I've read (almost certainly somewhere on here) that Graham Grainger and Matthew MacDermid have been promoted to Category 1 referees.
I don't know if anyone has gone off the list  or about promotions to the 1D list.

Hopefully someone with more Scots knowledge than me may be able to help out.

The SFA Handbook has finally gone online today.

John McKendrick is the only departure from Category 1, as previously suggested, but has moved to Category 4, rather than retiring completely.
As also previously stated, Graham Grainger, Matthew MacDermid and Calum Scott have joined the Category 1 list.

Category 1D now consists of Lorraine Watson, as before, Stewart Luke, promoted mid-season and Dan McFarlane from Aberdeen.

Category 2 has seen the addition of George Calder, Ross Hardie, Chris McNab, Alex Shepherd and Iain Snedden, bringing the total to nine.

Ryan Oliver, who had seemed to be getting some decent appointments, has departed from 2D and does not feature elsewhere. The two additions to this level are Daniel Graves and Paul Timmons.
