Les lois édictées par le Parlement britannique ne s'appliquent pas toujours en Écosse, même si la plus haute instance judiciaire reste, comme en Angleterre, la Chambre des lords.ⓘ THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT Le parlement écossais fut établi dans le cadre du projet de décentralisation du gouvernement travailliste et fut inauguré à Édimbourg en mai 1999. Les 129 membres du parlement écossais ("MSP") siègent sous la houlette du "First Minister". Le parlement est pourvu d'une grande autonomie en matière de fiscalité mais ses pouvoirs législatifs sont néanmoins limités. Ainsi, il n'est pas habilité à légiférer dans certains domaines qui restent le privilège du parlement de Westminster, tels que la politique extérieure et la défense.
