''The Scotland'' is the first trademark, the oldest one, used by [[Stiassi e Tantini]] for their fountain pen production. Many hypothesis are made on  ''The Scotland'' pens origins, attributing their production sometime to [[Omas]], sometime to [[Montegrappa]] or both.<ref>recently also to [[SAFIS]], else if [[SAFIS]] was founded later, but to now no documented evidence is known and similarities by models o works cannot considered a proof.</ref> The only confirmed evidence is the brand relation with [[Stiassi e Tantini]] who was the owner of the trademark registration, and without a documented evidence, production by other brands is just an hypothesis.

The history of the [[The Scotland]] brand is still very uncertain. In [[1920]] the two ''[[Stiassi e Tantini]]'' members founded also ''A.S.C.A.'', acronym of ''Azienda Specializzata in Cancelleria ed Affini'' (meaning ''Company Specialized in Stationery and Related''), and registered the company name ''The Scotland Pen Italiana'' with the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna, presumably by virtue of the strong anglophiles trends in the Italian market, which at the time saw many brands using english names. There are no know information about when production was effectively started, but it's generally assumed to be in the '20s.

The trademark registration was done in [[1931]] ({{Marchio|44193}}), and later there was a change in ''Scotland Italiana'', registered in [[1936]]/1937 ({{Marchio|54732}}), probably as the result of market trends changes due to the fight against anglophile trends and the exaltation of the Italian naming made by the fascist regime propaganda. The link with [[Tabo]] is anyway confirmed by the presence of a oversize model marked ''Scotland Italiana - Tabo Mod 1926''.

The only other known document about the brand is a February 4, 1930 bill on behalf of the ''Armando Merighi'' company which depicts a fountain pen called ''The Scotland Self Filling Pen'';  the role of this company is not totally clear, but it was claiming to be the dealer for the italian distribution, and Merighi himself registered in the '40s the brand name ''Mercurio'', often found on economic nibs.

The earlier fountain pen production by [[The Scotland]] was composed by [[safety]] models made both in  simple [[BCHR|black chased hard rubber]] or with metal [[overlay]]s, these ones using laminated gold metal decorated with geometric engravings. There are no known specific names of these models than those previously cited in the bill that reports the following names: ''special'', ''junior'', ''9I safetj'', ''zigrinato tipo [[Waterman]] 40''.

From the end of '30s the brand was discontinued, as consequence of the [[Stiassi e Tantini]] company transformations, the restarted fountain pens production at '40s beginning using the [[Tabo]] trademark. For the high quality of its pens, and their scarcity, [[The Scotland]] brand has an high interest between collectors.
