No, England does not own Scotland and never has. In 1603 King James VI of Scotland took over the English throne and became King James I of England, a Scottish king ruling England. In 1707 Scotland and England united their parliments and became The United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Note: At the time Scotland and England united, Wales was considered a part of England hence the reason that Wales is not represented on the Union Flag. Also it wasn't until 1800 that Ireland joined the union (the part now known as the Republic of Ireland left the union in 1922, while Northern Ireland has remained a part of the UK). Currently the UK is made up of the countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. All are equall and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own devolved governments (although all major decisions such as foreign affairs and defence are made by the UK government that includes Ministers from all the nations of the UK).
Ultimately, the current English throne is Scottish- James VI of Scotland became James I of England.
England is just one of four countries in the union, it is governed directly from Westminster, as is the United Kingdom, as England don't have their own exclusive parliament like Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland. Scotland isn't owned by England nor have they ever been because there is a union. However England cannot currently get independence from the United Kingdom as the English haven't bothered to vote for their own parliament whereas Scotland has.
Scotland is part of the united kingdom they may have there own goverment but they still are under the crown and David Cameron is still there prime minister

Should Scotland secede from the UK?
Yes. Like in Wales, the majority of people in Scotland have their own unique Scottish culture, and they should break off and form their own republic. If both Wales and Scotland break from the UK, and Northern Ireland is absorbed into the southern Republic of Ireland, that would reduce the UK to the Kingdom of England. English people must understand that the age of imperialism is over, and England should keep its own kingdom to itself.
