What can and can't an employer ask you to do regarding appearance. See first answer for details?
I am a dispenser working in a pharmacy in scotland. My employer recently relased a statement saying the following amoungst other things:
1. I must wear a white bra, which is not to be seen (my tunic is white) and i have not to wear any under garments (i.e vest tops etc)
2. I have no longer to wear my bodywarmer/warmth jacket (previously provided by the employer as part of the uniform) - The dispensary gets very cold in the winter and as it is a small shop everytime the door opens when windy the cold air blows in. There are only kick heaters provided
3. I have no longer to wear any thumb rings, and i have only to wear a maximum of 2 rings on each hand.
4. I can no longer wear a watch unless it is gold in colour
5. I can only wear nail polish if it is black or blue to match the company colours.
6. Make up must be applied in the morning and freshened up during the day.

Does Scotland have it own government?
Yes it does, but it's not an independent country. It has full autonomy over all of it's internal affairs EXCLUDING social security, which is still controlled by Westminster. It also has no power over foreign affairs or defence, and The Queen remains it's Head of State- it can control nearly all of it's own internal matters, but is still part of the UK.
The Scottish National Party, which is the dominant party in the Scottish Parliament, plans to hold a referendum on full independence in 2014, but all current opinion polls suggest that a majority of Scots would vote against this.
There is the word Glasgie but Glasgow also used to be referred to as theDear Green Place before it became industrialised.

When was firth of forth built?
The Firth of Forth was not "built" - it was created by a glacier in the last ice age. A firth is the lowland Scots word for an inlet from the sea, much the same as the Scandinavian word 'fjord' - in this case the estuary of the River Forth. I think you probably mean "When was the Forth (Rail) Bridge built?", and the answer to that is between 1883 & 1890. It was joined by a parallel road bridge in 1964. The railway bridge - still a hugely impressive structure - was the engineering wonder of its age, though it was achieved at the cost of many workers' lives. It is seen in a number of old films - most famously in both the 1935 & 1959 versions of "The 39 Steps".
