Scottish Parliament
The Scottish Parliament (Pàrlamaid na h-Alba in Gaelic, Scots Pairlament in Scots) is the national unicameral legislature of Scotland. The original Parliament of Scotland (or 'Estates of Scotland') was adjourned in 1707 following the Act of Union and merged with the Parliament of England to form the Parliament of Great Britain. The current Parliament was established by the Scotland Act 1998. The first meeting of the new Parliament as a devolved legislature was on 12 May 1999.
