SHORT DETAILS ABOUT THE COUNTRY

-Scotland is a country in Europe and is part of the island of Great Britain (Europe's largest island)
alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This lush beautiful country is bursting with green
spaces, lush forests, towering mountains and vast lochs (the Scottish word for lakes!).
Scotland population in 2022 is estimated to be 5.51 million, covers area of 77,933 sq.km. (30,090 sq mi).

II. SHORT HISTORY

-Policing in Scotland developed in burghs (out of watch and ward duties imposed on burgesses and town
guards in larger towns), and counties (out of parish constables). In the nineteenth century burghs and
counties obtained salaried police forces by individual local acts of parliament, and, latterly, by general
police acts. From the late-nineteenth century onwards there were many amalgamations of county and
burgh constabularies. In 1975 all county, burgh and amalgamated constabularies were replaced by eight
police forces (Strathclyde, Lothian & Borders, Grampian, Tayside, Fife, Central, Northern, and Dumfries
and Galloway), supervised by regional council police committees. In 2013 these eight forces were
amalgamated to form a single national force: Police Scotland.
