Order of precedence in Scotland

The order of precedence in Scotland was fixed by Royal Warrant in 1905.[1] Amendments were made by further Warrants in 1912,[2] 1952, 1958,[3] 1999 (to coincide with the establishment of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government) and most recently in 2012.[4][5]

The relative precedence of peers of Scotland is determined by the Act of Union 1707.
