In a very technical sense, Scotland is a separate country within the unitary state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It has its own devolved Scottish Parliament, but retains Queen Elizabeth II (the first of Scotland) as its head of state, and the government of the United Kingdom in Westminster retains many reserved issues, which can be found in the attached link. There is currently a strong movement for full independence of the United Kingdom, with the Scottish National Party running a minority government from Edinburgh, with one of their aims to bring forward a referendum about Scotland's future. In a non-technical sense, Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, and is not fully independent or separate of it.
Scotland itself is a country. It is part of a nation called the United Kingdom.

In what year was Scotland founded by England?
Scotland was not founded by England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Scotland was a country in itself, it still is a country. Only now it is in a "union" with England, meaning they are supposedly equal partners (this now includes Wales and Northern Ireland). However, England did obviously try to take over Scotland many times and eventually forced through the Act of Union in 1707.But Scotland is a country and has been for many many hundreds of years, a long time before England and Scotland joined and made Britain. Scotland is a country. On its own. Just as much as England is a country, or France is a country, or Italy is a country, to name some random examples. Scotland was NOT founded by England!!

Why is Scotland not recognised as its own country?
Scotland appears on the map as the northern part of the island of Great Britain in the UK. Neither it, nor England, nor Wales, will appear on a list of sovereign countries. They are all located on the same island and are all part of the United Kingdom.Scotland is a country, but is in political union with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland as a constituent member of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Scotland is also in a union of crowns--the line of both Scottish and English monarchs having been unified when the Scots king James VI inherited the throne of England as James I, in addition to his own Scots throne as James VI. Thus, like England, Scotland is not an independent political state by itself. It is not a subjugated territory belonging to England. When you see Britain, Great Britain, United Kingdom, or just UK, that means Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland together.Being in a political union, or union of crowns, does not alter the national standing of Scotland, or reduce it to being a region or division.
