Prior to digital switchover, 'BBC Two Scotland' and 'BBC Two Scotland (Digital)' were listed as separate channels by some guides, but were effectively the same channel, broadcasting identical feeds as part of the transition to digital television.

On 24 February 2019, the BBC launched the [[BBC Scotland (TV channel)|BBC Scotland channel]], a new autonomous service that broadcasts a nightly lineup of Scottish programming. In preparation for its launch, BBC Two Scotland was discontinued and replaced by the national version beginning 18 February. BBC Scotland officially broadcasts from 19:00 to 00:00 nightly, but simulcasts BBC Two daily from 12:00 to 19:00, and may opt out for sport and political broadcasts of regional interest during this period.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47345058|title=New BBC Scotland TV channel launches|work=BBC News|date=2019-02-24|access-date=2019-02-25|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47069479|title=Where to find the new BBC Scotland TV channel|work=BBC News|date=2019-01-31|access-date=2019-02-12|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16683725.bbc-faces-strict-quotas-to-ensure-it-delivers-on-promises-on-scottish-content-on-new-channel/|title=BBC faces strict quotas to ensure it delivers on promises on Scottish content on new channel|website=Herald Scotland|language=en|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref> BBC Two Scotland remained on the Sky [[electronic programming guide|EPG]] on channel 970 until 28 February 2019. From 18 to 27 February 2019, BBC Two Scotland simulcasted [[BBC Two]] (England region).

Similarly to BBC One Scotland, BBC Two Scotland offered differing programming from the [[BBC Two|UK-wide network]] specifically aimed at Scottish viewers. Often, this was more specialised programming such as ''Artworks Scotland'', ''Holyrood Live'' and the Gaelic strands branded as ''BBC Two (Dhà) Alba''.

During the daytime and overnight schedules, BBC Scotland replaced some of the national education programming for shows better targeted at the separate Scottish [[education]] system and replacing some politics strands with coverage of Scottish politics. BBC Sport Scotland would sometimes use BBC Two Scotland to broadcast live coverage of more minority sports, such as [[Track and field|athletics]] and [[shinty]], with some sports such as [[mountain biking]] and [[Cross country running|cross-country]] showcased in ''[[The Adventure Show]]''.

Additionally, on Sunday nights, BBC Two Scotland had become the regular home for ''[[Sportscene]]'''s highlights of the SPFL, preceding ''[[Match of the Day 2]]''.

The ''[[Music Show (Scotland)|Music Show]]'' was launched on BBC Two Scotland in November 2005, presented by [[Shantha Roberts]]. Its programming included live performances from a wide range of musical styles, with bands filmed around the country at different venues and unusual locations, rather than in the studio. Musical styles included [[indie music|indie]], [[jazz]], [[folk music|folk]], [[funk]], [[hip hop]] and [[electro pop]].<ref>{{cite web | title=The Music Show New On BBC2 Scotland | website=Werkre | date=10 November 2005 | url=https://werk.re/2005/11/10/the-music-show-new-on-bbc2-scotland/ | access-date=17 February 2021}}</ref> Its last shows were broadcast in November 2014.<ref>{{cite web | title=Music Scotland - The Music Show | website=BBC | date=17 October 2014 | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/musicscotland/musicshow/ | access-date=17 February 2021}}</ref>
