Reform Scotland


Reform Scotland, established in 2008, is an Edinburgh-based think tank.
Reform Scotland is the successor to right wing think tank Policy Institute. The think tank is led by individuals with links to the conservative party.
Reform Scotland is a company limited by guarantee and a Scottish charity funded by individuals, charitable trusts, companies and organisations that share its aims.
Reform Scotland made a submission to the Scotland Bill Committee, based upon their pamphlet advocating Devolution Plus. Devolution Plus is a system whereby the Scottish devolution settlement would be amended to see both the Scottish Parliament and Westminster parliament raising sufficient revenue in taxation to fund their own spending. That submission was the basis of the foundation of the Devo Plus group, to promote the idea during the run up to a referendum on Scottish independence.
In 2012 Reform Scotland won ‘one to watch’ at Prospect magazine’s annual think tank awards in London as well as runner up in the economic and financial category.
