Worker Owned Businesses in Scotland

I am sure that this short list is woefully incomplete, so please let me know in the comments below of any businesses that have I missed out. Consistent with the subject of this blog, I have limited this list to businesses that are both worker-owned and in some way worker-self-governed, and have decided not to list ESOP corporations, agricultural coops, consumer coops, building societies or credit unions. By assembling this list, I hope to encourage readers to patronize these worker-owned businesses, but of course, inclusion in this list does not imply that these businesses endorse any of the views expressed on this blog.
