SCOTLAND
In area Scotland is more than half as big as England. Its population is, however, only one-eighth as great. Scotland was an independent kingdom, often at war with England, until 1603. It had never been entirely conquered by the Romans, who advanced some distance into the Scottish territory, but for most of their four centuries in Britain remained mainly behind the great wall which they built in the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, to the south of the modern boundary.
In 1603 King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England, too, and from then onwards the countries were under the same monarch, though the Act of Union was not passed until 1707. This Act incorporated Scotland with England in the United Kingdom, but the Scots kept their own legal system, religion and administration and still keep them now. Thus Scotland has never been united with England in the same way as Wales.
The English language is spoken all over Scotland with a variety of regional accents, but all of these can be at once recognised as Scottish, with the vowels and consonants pronounced more nearly as written than in standard English or any of the regional accents of England.
1. Scotland is as big as England.
2. James I was the king of Scotland and England.
3. Scottish is spoken all over Scotland.
4. The English language is spoken everywhere in Scotland with a variety of regional accents, vocabulary and grammar.
