Does England own Scotland?

No, England does not own Scotland and never has. In 1603 King James VI of Scotland took over the English throne and became King James I of England, a Scottish king ruling England. In 1707 Scotland and England united their parliments and became The United Kingdom of Great Britain.Note: At the time Scotland and England united, Wales was considered a part of England hence the reason that Wales is not represented on the Union Flag. Also it wasn't until 1800 that Ireland joined the union (the part now known as the Republic of Ireland left the union in 1922, while Northern Ireland has remained a part of the UK). Currently the UK is made up of the countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. All are equall and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own devolved governments (although all major decisions such as foreign affairs and defence are made by the UK government that includes Ministers from all the nations of the UK).Ultimately, the current English throne is Scottish- James VI of Scotland became James I of England.England is just one of four countries in the union, it is governed directly from Westminster, as is the United Kingdom, as England don't have their own exclusive parliament like Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland. Scotland isn't owned by England nor have they ever been because there is a union. However England cannot currently get independence from the United Kingdom as the English haven't bothered to vote for their own parliament whereas Scotland has.Scotland is part of the united kingdom they may have there own goverment but they still are under the crown and David Cameron is still there prime minister


Why is Scotland not recognised as its own country?

Scotland appears on the map as the northern part of the island of Great Britain in the UK. Neither it, nor England, nor Wales, will appear on a list of sovereign countries. They are all located on the same island and are all part of the United Kingdom.Scotland is a country, but is in political union with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland as a constituent member of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Scotland is also in a union of crowns--the line of both Scottish and English monarchs having been unified when the Scots king James VI inherited the throne of England as James I, in addition to his own Scots throne as James VI. Thus, like England, Scotland is not an independent political state by itself. It is not a subjugated territory belonging to England. When you see Britain, Great Britain, United Kingdom, or just UK, that means Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland together.Being in a political union, or union of crowns, does not alter the national standing of Scotland, or reduce it to being a region or division.
