Is .scot right for your idea?
Think beyond a postal address
The registry describes eligibility through Scottish identity or affinity. Living outside Scotland does not by itself rule out a genuine connection.
Distinguish the domain spaces
A name directly ending .scot is separate from a name ending .co.scot. This page concerns direct .scot registration; one does not include the other.

Questions about .scot domains
Do I have to live in Scotland?
The registry welcomes people who identify as Scottish or have an affinity for Scotland; the connection is not limited to residence.
Is .scot a country-code domain?
No. IANA classifies it as a generic domain with a Scottish community purpose.
Does it include .co.scot?
No. Those are separate domain spaces.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
