The structure of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland

I just need to clarify something for my Politics revision.

I know that the structure of Liberal Democrats is such that they have a Federal Party at the top, followed by State Parties (Wales, Scotland, England), and I know that England have Regional Parties and then Local Parties whereas Wales don't have any Regional and only have Local.

My question was about Scotland, because my revision guide says that Scotland doesn't have Regional Parties, but a sheet I have says that they do!

So do the Liberal Democrats in Scotland have Regional Parties like they do in England?

Thanks!

The Scottish Liberal Democrats, together with our Welsh and English colleagues, are part of the federation that is the UK Liberal Democrats. We also maintain close links with our colleagues in Europe.

All members have an equal vote to elect not just our Leader and Deputy Leader but also the Convenors of the main party committees - Executive, Policy, Campaigns, Conference and Business.

Locally we are organised into Regional and Local Parties.
