Original Note:
The Scottish Parliament is not able to make law which applies outside of Scotland, nor has it tried to. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/section/29 Under the Hate Crime Act ‘offending someone’ is not be a crime. The Act does create a specific offence of stirring up hatred which is a much higher bar. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2021/14/section/4
