History
St John Scotland was formed in 1947, by The Order of St John who decided to resume the work of the Order in Scotland.[3] They had a pre-existing agreement not to compete with St Andrew's First Aid which led to St John Scotland to be more flexible in its approach than the other St John organisations.[3]
