 Master of Arts (Scotland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scottish/Oxbridge undergraduate MAs are seen by some as being within the cohort of advanced undergraduate degrees such as MMath or MSci, mostly as a combination of the title of "Master of Arts" (as opposed to the title of Bachelor) and also by virtue of being granted by a leading research university with a long history.
This uncertain status of an MA (Hons) with regards to a BA (Hons) is the source of some antagonism, particularly by the graduates of newer universities (such as the "Red Brick" universities or the post-1960/1992 universities).
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework, a QAA Scotland/Scottish Qualifications Authority, initiative seeks to formalise equivalence between all qualifications in Scotland from pre-school to further and higher education, and classifies both as Honours degrees at Level 10.

 Master's degree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An MA degree is called a magister (abbreviated mgr) except for medical education where it is called a lekarz medycyny (this gives the holder the right to use the title of physician) or a lekarz weterynarii in the veterinary field.
The MAs awarded by Oxford and Cambridge are colloquially known as the Oxbridge MA, and that from Dublin as the Trinity MA, and would be usually distinguished respectively: MA (Oxon.), MA (Cantab.) and MA (Dubl.).
The Scottish MA is roughly equivalent to a BA from a University elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

 Breed Article: Scottish Fold
The first documented and recognized ancestor of all Scottish Folds is "Susie," a folded-ear barn cat found on the McRae farm at Coupar Angus in the Tayside Region of Scotland.
The Scottish Folds of today lead long, healthy lives, often up to and past the age of 19 years, and several Folds have been active in the ring over the age of ten.
Without these dedicated cat lovers and their persistence and faith in Scottish Folds we, the current breeders and exhibitors, would be hard pressed to show and produce the beautiful cats we proudly place in the show ring.

T.M. Devine, professor of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen, has put together the first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Scottish nation during this 'non-parliamentary' (and, thus perhaps one might consider, non-sovereign) period in a generation.
His book, The Scottish Nation is intended to be (and, in my opinion, succeeds at being) an accessible resource for the casual reader while being authoritative and thorough enough for the scholar to find it valuable.
Following issues that are economic, military, social and political, Devine traces the various strands of Scottish history through to the present Parliament, detailing the London Parliament's intriguing struggle to deal with the issue of devolution and maintenance of the union through the post-war period.
