From whom, may I ask? Scotland never belonged to anybody but the Scots throughout recorded history until the Act of Union in 1707, when it became part of the United Kingdom. Will it ever regain its Independence? There is a small amount of agitation for it, but most Scots are content to remain part of the Union while reserving the right to hate the English. Following devolution in 1999, Scotland once again achieved having it's own, albeit devolved, Parliament. The Scottish Parliament has the powers to introduce new laws, address issues in relation education, crime, health and prisons, but has limited powers in relation to Immigration and issues with UK or international impact, eg. immigration.

Scotland has never gained full independence from the United Kingdom. However, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the Scotland Act in 1998, leading to the establishment of the Scottish Parliament with devolved powers. This grants Scotland some autonomy in areas like education, health, and transportation, but key decisions like defense and foreign policy remain reserved to Westminster.
