The Scottish Government

The Scottish Government is the devolved administration responsible for governing Scotland, separate from the UK Parliament. It manages various areas such as health, education, justice, and transport, allowing it to tailor policies to Scotland's specific needs. Led by the First Minister and comprised of various ministers, it operates from the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. The Scottish Government makes decisions on local issues while the UK Parliament retains control over reserved matters, such as defense and immigration. This structure enables Scotland to address its unique political, social, and economic challenges while remaining part of the United Kingdom.
