Scotland is not, never has been and never will be a part of England. Scotland is a country which is in a political union with England(inc Wales) and six counties of Ireland. Comment: To refer to Scotland as being England (or part of England) has the same effect on a scotsman/woman as saying America is part of Canada or Americans are Canadians for the americans. It winds us up - so don't do it! ;-)
Northern Ireland has never been part of Britain. Britain is an island which consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is on the neighbouring island of Ireland. What you are confusing is the United Kingdom, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland came into existence after 1921 and since then it has been a part of the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom came into being in 1707 with the melding of the kingdoms of Scotland and England (Wales was part of the Kingdom of England at this time). Ireland was annexed in 1801, but gained independence and became the Republic of Ireland in the 1920s. Northern Ireland stayed part of the United Kingdom. Thus, the modern United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) has been around for about 90 years. The United Kingdom itself has been around (in some form or another) 304 years. If you mean how long the separate countries like England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland have been around, the answer is a few thousand years. There aren't any definite years of country-hood (unlike the United States) because England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are so old, plus it depends on when you start counting. :)
Falkirk is in Scotland, which is in the United Kingdom, so it would take zero amount of time.
Neither. There has not been a Queen (or King) of England since 1707 when the crowns of Scotland and England were united. Great Britain is not a country, it's an island. Queen Victoria was Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
It would take about 7 hours to drive from Scotland to London, United Kingdom in a car. There is approximately 397 miles between the two locations.
In the United Kingdom there has to be a general election every 5 years. (Election of members of the House of Commons) The United Kingdom is ruled as a constitutional monarchy by HM Queen Elizabeth II. The monarchy is hereditary. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.
well, in my opinion, the relationship of England and Scotland would probabaly be: -they are neighbour countries ( they are near or close). -they have same culture and religion. -they are both part of United Kingdom.
The Kingdom of England (which included the Principality of Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland became a political union in 1707. The crowns were however already united from 1603 onwards under James VI of Scotland (I of England and Ireland) who used the title Great Britain before it was used politically. In addition the title UK wasn't used until 1801 when the Kingdom of Ireland was joined to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Whales have been hunted for centuries. Wales is a country in the United Kingdom !
About 400 years. If you mean King of the United Kingdom, which includes England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland, the present queen's father, King George VI, died in 1952
three years
Since June of 1976, when they acquired their independence from the United Kingdom.
