As a general principle of British Common Law, upon which Scotland's and most current or past U.K. nations' laws are based, an entity doing business in a jurisdiction is bound by the laws of that jurisdiction.

An employer based in England, but with offices in Scotland, Ireland and Canada would be bound in each country by the local labour laws.

At the end of the day, it is Scotland, not England that determines if the English company has to follow the Scottish law.
