Scotland joined the empire in 1707 when Queen Anne signed the Union Act officially uniting the English and Scottish crowns to form Great Britain. In 1603, upon the death of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor Monarch, the crown passed to the Stuart monarchs of Scotland and James VI of Scotland became James I of England. Although King James was king of both nations, they were not united under him, they were separate countries ruled by the same monarch. It was not until 1707 that both nations were officially recognized as one.
