    A legal option to see if you'd abandonned the property would have been a letter to you, at the property, advising you of 24 hours notice for a visit. If you didnot respond, she could then enter.
    Of course that solves little.
    Even if the property appeared empty, she cannot assume you've abandoned The tenancy still would not have ended. And if she were to re-occupy, or re-let, the property, that would amount to an illegal eviction.
    That may partly explain why, knowing (somehow) you were at MIL's, she came round to speak.
    Again, does not excuse her behaviour, but we've only heard one side, and there are always 2 sides to a problem.
    edit: sorry - I'm commenting from an English perspective, but I suspect in this Scotland is not much different.
