For many years, Scotland was world-renowned for its Shipbuilding, Fishing, and Oil industries. Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, Scotland is still a hub of the Goods and Service industries, and major sectors now include the production of goods such as whisky, textiles,  foodstuffs (such as shortbread, salmon and beef), as well as industries such as Banking and Computer software.
The country’s capital of Edinburgh is the centre of the Scottish Financial Sector, with many companies making it their home. With the city’s castle, shopping district and annual Fringe Festival, Tourism also provides substantial employment.
Aberdeen is base to the country’s considerable oil and gas production in the North Sea. Agriculture adds yet another string to Scotland’s bow.
Candidates can expect to see recruitment agencies advertising for staff across a wide variety of sectors, including Electronic Technologies, Financial Services, Energy, Life Sciences (incorporating Stem Cell Sciences), Pharmaceutical Research, and Bio-Manufacturing. Perhaps reflecting this, Scotland’s population has a higher percentage of top qualifications than Great Britain.
