Sponsors: The Scottish Government

LAST year the Scottish Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, opened what was then the Festival of Spirituality and Peace.

Now, in 2013, FoSP has become Just Festival, and continues to value the strong support it gets from the Scottish Government, in recognition of its role in promoting harmonious communities, breaking down barriers of culture and belief, making peace, and combatting bigotry and sectarianism.

The devolved government for Scotland is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern to the people of Scotland, including health, education, justice, rural affairs, and transport.

The Scottish Government was known as the Scottish Executive when it was established in 1999 following the first elections to the Scottish Parliament. The current administration was formed after elections in May 2011.

The Government's purpose is to focus government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.
