Know your regulator

Who regulates food service in Scotland

Food Standards Scotland (with your local council)

Scotland has its own national regulator — Food Standards Scotland, not the FSA — and its own scheme: the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), which grades premises 'Pass' or 'Improvement Required' rather than 0–5. You register with your local council at least 28 days before opening, and council environmental health teams inspect.
