Should Scotland break free from England?
Scotland is not controlled by England as such. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland together form what is known as the United Kingdom. No one part owns any of the other parts. It would be a case of Scotland leaving the United Kingdom, not leaving England. As to whether they do that is a decision for the people of Scotland. Some say Scotland should leave the United Kingdom and others say they should not.

How long to drive from Hampshire England to tiree Scotland?
12 hours or slightly more. Tiree is an ISLAND many miles from the coast of Scotland. It has no direct ferry route to the mainland. So from Tiree you have to go to the island of Coll then by another ferry to the mainland. Thus the answer to the question should be: 12 hours from Hampshire to the wesrtern Scottish coast, if you are lucky with the traffic (it once took me 13 hours for a shorter journey from southern England to southern Scotland), then however long the two ferries would take. Allow one day for the main car journey and several hours each for the ferries - assuming they run at mutually convenient times! Check the availability of the ferries before setting out on rthe car journey, the ferries may not run every day of the week.

It later extended to other Irish who settled in the northern regions of Britain. ,
