Scotland

They were gradually phased out of the uniform throughout Scottish forces during the 1950's.

However British police attending Royal duties or performing a service requested by a British Royal will still wear the helmet in Scotland as part of their ceremonial uniform.

The helmets were phased out in Scotland due to the Scottish climate. The harsh wind, heavy rain, sudden storms and so on made it a burden to wear a helmet as officers found it difficult to effectively chase after fleeing suspects.

The hats are not only designed to protect the officer, but they are also supposed to help people recognise that an officer is nearby. However in Scottish climates, it can be difficult to spot a black helmet, so they use the caps instead since they are easy to spot.

Helmets are worn in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and other British-owned territories by foot officers. But officers patrolling in vehicles will wear the flat hat.

Yes, same rules apply to that of any other airport in the United Kingdom.

The answer you may be looking for is 'Trews' although I think it worth mentioning that you will find it very, very hard to find any normal member of the public in either Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland ever wearing these. If anything we would be wearing a kilt and even this is not usually worn unless at a special occasion (like a wedding), an event that requires formal dress or a ceremony of some sort. Tartan trousers and the like are sold to tourists in many tourist shops especially in Edinburgh but these are made specifically for this purpose. I have lived in Scotland all my life and the only people I have ever seen wearing tartan trousers are the tour guides at Historic Scotland attractions.

The legend was first started in 1933.

Dunblane is a town in Scotland and even though it has a cathedral it is not a city.

Betfred is located in Scotland, which is a country within the United Kingdom, which is itself a country as well. Yes, it is confusing, but that's the way it is.

Foods traditionally associated with Scotland include: Haggis, neaps and tatties, oat cakes, Cullen skink, Arbroath smokies and porridge.

I lived in Scotland, up North near Skye. It's cold in the Winter but not as cold as say Minnesota. I remember waiting impatiently for Spring and it's a short flower growing season. Minimum wage is higher than in the US, so things seem more expensive. I found it easier to shop cheaply because of being able to only buy what you need. If you use the local butcher, baker and greengrocer,instead of bulk packging at supermarkets. High petrol prices, but good public transport in cities and cross-country travel. You may order a daily paper, have milk delivered along with juice, yogurt, potatoes and bread from the same milkman. There are 2 mail deliveries M-F, with one on Sat. Schools have longer hours and different holidays, no long Summer one. A different grading system and all the students wear uniforms. Social life is a lot more relaxed and informal, especiallt if you go out to the local pub, even just for pool or darts. There are many clubs for various hobbies and lots of self-help organizations. Lots to do in terms of sightseeing and travel for short break getaways. TV shows are good and with satellite you get many choice pf shows, including US ones. No big malls readily available and soccer (football) is everywhere - no American style football except occasionally on late nite tv. Home internet not as common as here, but everyone seems to have a mobile (cell)phone glued to their ear! Sorry if this is muddled - hope it helped!

Whah Hay. It is Scots for 'who have'.

A native of Scotland is called a Scot, not Scottish. Scotch is a drink not a person.

They have many different systems (including legal matters). They were never conquered, despite England's repeated attempts, and when the Union between England and Wales - on one hand - and Scotland - on the other - was finally signed, they brought an important degree of self-determination into Great Britain, including their laws and regulations.

In the 16th century Scotland was the centre of industrial growth. Coins were the money used to buy goods. The Scottish merk coin was in circulation in the 16th century.
