Welcome to Scot Scoop Explains!

Scot Scoop Explains is born out of the drive to inform the general public about the who, what, when, where, why, and how of political topics. Given that very little news is born the moment it comes across a wire, Scot Scoop Explains will also provide relevant context and analysis to ensure full understanding of new information.
