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.
