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.

How old is UK?

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. :)
