Domain .scot - New TLDs

Domain .scot — for Scotland and the global Scottish community

A .scot domain is a community top-level domain (TLD) for Scotland and Scots worldwide. Operated by Dot Scot Registry (DSR), a non-profit community interest company, .scot is built around a deliberately broad definition of "the Scottish community" — so it's not just for the roughly 5 million people who live in Scotland, but also for the estimated 50–100 million people of Scottish heritage around the world.

The Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament both use .scot for their official websites (gov.scot and parliament.scot), giving the extension a level of institutional credibility most new TLDs never reach.

.scot domain–important information

After placing your order, please provide a description (up to 255 characters) of the intended use of the domain name (in English) in accordance with the requirements of the SCOT registry. Registration time usually takes up to 1 working day.

What is a .scot domain used for?

A .scot name says "Scottish" the moment someone reads your address. It's a natural fit for:

• Scottish businesses — distilleries, tourism, financial services in Edinburgh, tech in Glasgow, retail across the country
• cultural organisations — clans, Highland games, ceilidh groups, Gaelic and Scots language projects
• Scottish products and exports — whisky, tartans, food, music, design
• sports clubs and teams — football, rugby, golf, shinty, curling
• public sector — government, parliament, councils, agencies, universities
• genealogy and heritage projects — Scottish ancestry research, clan histories, family sites

A descriptive address like yourbrand.scot signals authentic Scottish identity in a way no generic gTLD can match — and it's far less crowded than .com or .co.uk, so the short name you want is often still available.
