Scottish Government

The Scottish Government is the devolved administrative authority responsible for governing Scotland. Established in 1999 after a referendum, it has powers over various areas like health, education, and transportation, while the UK Parliament retains control over matters such as defense and foreign affairs. The government is led by the First Minister and operates from Edinburgh. It aims to address Scotland's specific needs and interests, promoting policies for social welfare, economic growth, and environmental sustainability in accordance with the values and aspirations of the Scottish people.
