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.
