Why did Disney put their European park in Scotland?

Disney did not actually put a park in Scotland; instead, their first European theme park is located in France, specifically Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992. The decision for this location was influenced by proximity to major European cities, accessibility for international visitors, and existing infrastructure. While there were discussions about potential sites in the UK, including Scotland, ultimately the Paris location was deemed more viable for Disney's expansion in Europe.
