Governance of Scotland

The governance of Scotland is managed through a devolved system where it has its own parliament, known as the Scottish Parliament, responsible for areas like education, health, and transportation. The UK Parliament in Westminster retains control over national issues such as defense and foreign policy. Scotland’s government works within the UK constitutional framework, making decisions that reflect Scottish priorities while remaining part of the United Kingdom. This arrangement allows Scotland to have a degree of self-governance while sharing sovereignty with the wider UK Government.
