Order of Precedence is the recognised hierarchy of important people. The Order of Precedence does not necessarily point to the importance of that person but an indication of time honoured traditions with respect to historical relevance.
The Order of Precedence in Scotland was recognized and established in 1905 by Royal Warrant - Royal Warrant amendments have been made three times since 1905 to keep pace with changing times such as the Scottish Parliament.
The list above is very close to the original Order of Precedence and does not take into account the amendment positions since the 1999 amendments.
