No, Newcastle upon Tyne has never been part of Scotland. Newcastle achieved city status in 1051 and declared its independence from England on August 17, 1853.The Scots offered to accept Newcastle to become a part of Scotland, but the Lord Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne declined on the basis that the Scots were "untrustworthy, incomprehensible, unhygenic drunkards."
