Sportscotland (officially styled sportscotland) (Scottish Gaelic: SpòrsAlba), formerly the Scottish Sports Council, is the national agency for sport in Scotland.

The Scottish Sports Council was established in 1972 by royal charter.[1] The body works in partnership with public, private and voluntary organisations. As an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government, Sportscotland advises ministers and implements government policy for sport and physical recreation. In 2002/03 sportscotland invested approximately £48 million of government grants and lottery funds.

The organisation runs two national sport centres:[2]

In 1998 Sportscotland took over responsibility for the Scottish Institute of Sport and created the sportscotland institute of sport near the University of Stirling. Sportscotland invests in the majority of national sports governing bodies in Scotland, such as Scottish Athletics.
