"The Government of Scotland"

The Government of Scotland is responsible for managing many public services and policies within Scotland, such as health, education, and transportation. It operates independently from the UK government in areas devolved to Scotland, like local government and justice. Led by the Scottish Parliament and the First Minister, it makes decisions on issues that are specific to Scotland, while the UK government handles reserved matters like defense and foreign affairs. This arrangement allows Scotland to tailor policies to its own needs while remaining part of the United Kingdom.
