Key information sources

Scotland's Future - A National Conversation imageThe National Conversation was conducted by the Scottish Government between August 2007 and November 2009 inviting public comment on a range of potential changes to the country's constitution.

It began with the publication of a discussion paper Choosing Scotland's Future, and culminated in the publication of Your Scotland Your Voice, a White Paper laying out options supported by detailed policy papers.

Constitutional Reform

The Scottish Government was formed after the May 5, 2011 parliamentary election at which the SNP gained a clear majority with 69 of the 129 seats at Holyrood and a mandate to govern until the next election in 2016.

A referendum on independence is planned for the latter half of the five-year parliamentary term in the autumn of 2014. A consultation on the referendum began in January 2012.
