Which legislative body can enact same-sex marriage legislation in Scotland?
The Scottish Parliament is empowered to legislate on specific "devolved matters" which have been delegated to it from the Westminster Parliament (the Houses of Lords and Commons that meet in London). Also, the Scottish Parliament is authorized to legislate on any matter which is not specifically reserved for the Westminster Parliament. Certainly, the Westminster Parliament can pass any law it wishes and that law can be applied to Scotland. However, it appears that marriage law is not among the list of "reserved matters" and that the Scottish Parliament could, therefore, alter the legal requirements for marriage within Scotland. In any case, it was the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood that enacted a same-sex marriage law on February 4, 2014.

The most recent "kind of independence" I'm aware of occurred in 1999, when the Scottish Parliament was established.In 2004, the Scottish Parliament building was completed and opened, but this didn't change the authority of the Scottish Parliament in any way, simply gave them a permanent building to meet in (from 1999-2004 they had met mostly in the General Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh, and had rented some additional space from the City of Edinburgh for offices).
