Roman Catholic AnswerThe same as any other country, Jesus Christ, through His Vicar on earth, the Holy Father in Rome. The Holy Father has a nuncio in each country, but each diocese, under its bishop, is sovereign to itself, saving the Holy Father (the Pope). There are a number of dioceses in Scotland, each ruled autonomously by a bishop.
