Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom was the sole government with authority over Scotland; however, there was a degree of administrative separation in the form of the Scottish Office .

The Parliament Of Scotland and the national government were abolished with the passage of the Acts Of Union 1707 , replaced with the Parliament Of Great Britain . In 1998, with the Scotland Act 1998 , the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Executive were established with Devolved power granted by the Parliament Of The United Kingdom .
