Knives: Scotland
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim) Wednesday 15th July 2026 Question to the Scotland Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on making the wearing of a sgian dubh illegal. Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The wearing of the sgian dubh is permitted where it is being worn as part of a national costume. There are no plans to change this.
However, we are clear that if any bladed or pointed article is used to threaten or harm others, this will be met with the full force of the law.
This strikes the balance between protecting public safety and protecting freedoms. |
