Is Scotland within the UK law jurisdiction?
Scotland (like England, Wales and Northern Ireland) has its own parliament The Scottish parliament can create their own Scotland-specific laws on 'devolved matters' (as defined in the Scotland Act 1998). Devolved matters are issues that are specific to Scotland such as their agriculture, tourism, education system and so forth. The UK Parliament, based in Westminster, may create laws on 'reserved issues' that would cover Scotland along with the rest of the UK. Reserved issues are national issues such as immigration policy, benefits, data protection, etc. The UK Parliament does have the power to create law on 'Devolved matters' as well, but it rarely does so. Therefore Scotland is subject to UK law, but does not necessarily have the same laws that are present in other parts of the UK.

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.
