Morning,

can anyone tell me what the difference is, if any between:

1. Scotland Building regs and the UK Building Regs
2. Scotland Fire Act 2005 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

I am interested in Fire Exit Travel Distances, I would imagine they should all be the same distance shouldnt they.....
