this type of precipitation is orographic in nature, with the warm, wet air forced to rise on contact with the mountainous coast, where it consequently cools and condenses, forming clouds. In comparison, much of eastern Scotland receives less than 870 mm annually; lying in the rain shadow of the western uplands.[1] This effect is most pronounced along the coasts of Lothian, Fife, Angus and Eastern Aberdeenshire, as well as around the city of Inverness. Inchkeith in the Firth of Forth receives only 550mm (22in) of precipitation each year, which is similar to Rabat in Morocco, and less than what Sydney or Barcelona receive per year. Also, as a result of this the northwestern coast has about 265 days with rain a year and this falls to the south east to a minimum of about 170 days along the coast to the east of Lothian. Snowfall is less common in the lowlands, but becomes more common with altitude

The Scottish fire brigades and police forces are still based on the system of regions introduced in 1975. For healthcare and postal districts, and a number of other governmental and non-governmental organisations such as the churches, there are other long-standing methods of subdividing Scotland for the purposes of administration. City status in the United Kingdom is determined by letters patent.There are six cities in Scotland: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, most recently Inverness, and Stirling. Law and criminal justice Scots law has a basis derived from Roman law, combining features of both uncodified civil law, dating back to the Corpus Juris Civilis, and common law with medieval sources.
