how do you call scotland from the us?

Answer 1

Assume the number you want to dial in Scotland is 0141 123-4567 then you would dial 011 44 141 123-4567. If the number was 0131 987-6543 then you would dial 011 44 131 987-6543...

Dial 011 for an international line from the US.

Dial 44 - the international dialing code for Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Dial the area code - all area codes in the UK begin with a zero, drop the zero when calling internationally. 0141 and 0131 are the repsective codes for Glasgow and Edinburgh, all other codes in Scotland start with a zero then 4 digits (01224 is Aberdeen, 01387 for Fort William etc)

Finally dial the 6 or 7 digit phone number of the person you're calling. Edinburgh and Glasgow have 7 digit numbers, everywhere else has 6 digits.
