mygov.scot is a Scottish Government public sector information website. The site has been created to provide a single point of access to central government services in a way that is “easy to find and simple to use.”.[1] The website is replacing older Scottish Government websites as part of a rolling transitioning project, removing duplication of content.[2]

The site was one of the initial launch partners for the .scot top-level domain.

The site became available as a public alpha test from 12 September 2014.[3] The site officially replaced DirectScot.org on 12 May 2015 and the Scottish Business Portal (business.scotland.gov.uk) on 14 September 2015.[4]

The new Victims’ Code for Scotland, which sets out the rights of victims of crime, is hosted on the site.[5][6]
