    Can I add a spur socket myself in Scotland?

    The socket already there is RCD protected and isn't a spur already. I have a socket tester so everything would be done properly then tested. Am I allowed to carry out this work myself? I can't find anything clear on doing this in Scotland, only England and Wales.
