The Economy in Scotland
The Scottish economy comprises many different sectors.
Oil remains important, although light engineering and shipbuilding have seen a decline in recent years, and the service sector (especially finance and call centres) has increased in importance.
Rural activities like fishing and agriculture remain important, although the country's 'Silicon Glen' has also seen growth in the manufacture of computers and mobile phones.
Scotch whisky production continues to have significance, as does the country's tourism industry.
