Abstract
The principal focus of the chapter is Scotland’s public education service, not simply since devolution but prior to that act, the more necessary since there was much in the earlier arrangements that bore a distinctive stamp. This, in essence, had its genesis in the Act of Union which recognised a separate legal system and the Presbyterian established church. Scotland’s culture and its education character constituted powerful impulses informing subsequent developments.
