Scottish Brigades (1975-2013)
Between 1975 and 2013, Scottish brigades areas were broadly based on the system of local government regions in use from 1975 to 1996. The eight fire and rescue services across Scotland will be amalgamated into a single, new Scottish Fire and Rescue Service on 1 April 2013. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service will have its headquarters in Perth.
The Fire and Rescue Services are the workforces employed by the Fire and Rescue Authorities and (pre-2013) Joint Boards.

Famous quotes containing the word scottish:
“I have hardly begun to live on Staten Island yet; but, like the man who, when forbidden to tread on English ground, carried Scottish ground in his boots, I carry Concord ground in my boots and in my hat,—and am I not made of Concord dust? I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
