Creative Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Alba Chruthachail) is a development body for arts and cultural industries in Scotland. Based in Edinburgh, it is an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government.
It inherited the functions of Scottish Screen and the Scottish Arts Council on 1 July 2010, and has an additional remit for the Creative Industries.[clarification needed] The Scottish Government brought it into being in 2010, and an interim company, Creative Scotland 2009, was set up to assist the transition from the existing organisations.
