I had a problem because i sent a letter and after 2 weeks I only got a reply but the person I wrote to replied straight away after she got the letter from me, but I forgot that I sent the letter on a friday afternoon and then on the weekend many people sent their letters and on sunday the post office was (and always is) closed so it took mine to get there about 6 days because there was also a bank holiday on monday ;D And then the same happened to her, except hers got to me in 5 days so not even 2 weeks ;) 11 days, But if you sent it on Monday morning it would probably got to the person on wednesday if not thursday, and if the person sent you the letter back on friday it would get to you on a monday, (wthout any bank holidays) so a week!

====================================

[Edit]

A letter posted on Monday in Scotland using first class post should reach its destination in England the next day.

I have often sent a letter first class by the last collection in Scotland (at c. 5.15pm) and it has reached its recipient in England the very next day.

A letter sent by second class post might take a day or two longer than this.

How long will it take if you walk from were you live in England to Scotland?

That depends on where in England your starting point is and where in Scotland your destination is. If you walked from one side of the border to the other it might only take a matter of seconds but if you were walking from Lands End to John O'Groats it would take considerably longer.


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!!


Can you drive in a car directly from Scotland to England or on a boat?

Yes, you can drive directly from Scotland to England through road connections like the A1 or M6. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from various Scottish ports to English ports, such as from Cairnryan to Larne in Northern Ireland and then drive to England.


What is older England or Scotland?

England became a unified state in 927. The equivalent point in time for Scotland is less clear. Tradition suggests the state was founded in 843 by Kenneth MacAlpin but in written history he is merely king of the Picts. The first king of Scotland/Scots was Donald II who ruled in 889. From this point of view Scotland is slightly older. Edit: It wasn't until 1018 that the Angles were finally defeated in Scotland when Malcolm II defeated the English and Lothian became part of the country. This date of 1018 is also accepted as the formal foundation date for Scotland, making England nearly 100 years older than Scotland, so it depends if you want to take 843 or 1018 as the start date, both could be argued to be correct.
