The Temperance (Scotland) Act 1913 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom under which voters in small local areas in Scotland were enabled to hold a poll to vote on whether their area remained "wet" or went "dry" (that is, whether alcoholic drinks should be permitted or prohibited).

In order for a poll to be called, there had to be a petition signed by 10% of the registered voters in a burgh, parish or ward.

Local authorities were still permitted to license hotels and restaurants, providing that alcohol was only consumed with a meal.

[1] Although temperance campaigners initially hoped to hold polls in at least 1,000 of the 1,200 licensing districts of Scotland,[1] ultimately there were 584 successful petitions.

[4] About 40 districts voted in favour of prohibition, including Airdrie, Cambuslang, Kilsyth, Kirkintilloch, Parkinch, Stewarton and Whitehead.

At the 1920 poll, a majority of voters plumped for "no licence" in eleven wards, but due to the turnout and supermajority requirements, it was only successful in four.
