.scot is a top-level domain for Scotland and Scottish culture, including the Gaelic and Scots languages.[1]
In 2008 dotCYMRU, dotEUS, dotSCOT and dotBZH formed ECLID. Later it was decided to allow almost any top-level domain for introduction some time in 2013, and a list of applications for these was published in June 2012; the domain .scot was included.[2]
On 27 January 2014, Dot Scot Registry announced that it had agreed terms to operate the .scot domain name, with plans to get it up and running later in summer of 2014.[3]
On 15 July 2014, .scot was officially launched.[4] The first pioneer website to go live on 15 July was calico.scot — a Highlands-based ISP who offer .scot domain registrations.[5]
As of 12 September 2014, an alpha version of the Scottish Government's mygov.scot website was live.[6] On 17 February 2015, the Scottish Government migrated its website from scotland.gov.uk to gov.scot.[7]
