Why is Scotland not in the Olympics?

Scotland is not an independent country. It is part of Great Britain. The International Olympic Committee in general recognises only independent countries. However, this is not the same for all sports. There are separate Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish football (soccer) teams. This is because of the history of the different nations that formed the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', or 'Britain', as the UK (for short), is often called. This produces strong identities for each of the member countries of the UK, which different sports choose to deal with differently. The national football (soccer) teams chose to be formed as 4 UK 'home' teams, with the Republic of Ireland having a separate team. In Rugby, England, Wales and Scotland are separate teams, but there is only one Irish team, drawing players from the whole of the island of Ireland, whether they are in the Republic of Ireland or the UK. Hockey is organised the same way. However, in international tennis, there is only a GB team, not the three home nations. It becomes even more interesting with cricket, one professional team for England and Wales, called 'England', with a Scottish and an Irish (whole island) team. However, there is an amateur 'Welsh Minor Counties' side which will also play internationally. In the end, a complicated history has produced a complex identity in the UK, especially in sport!
