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.

Scotland is recognized as a country within the United Kingdom, but it's not seen as a fully independent nation because it remains part of the UK. Scotland has its own parliament and government with devolved powers, but issues like foreign policy and defense are controlled by the UK government.
