Scottish Local Government

Local government in Scotland is represented by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA).

Formed in 1975, COSLA exists to promote and protect the interests of councils in Scotland by providing a forum for discussion of matters of common concern. COSLA ascertains the views of member councils and communicates these to central government, other bodies and the public.
