 Scotland
(Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a nation in northwest Europe
and one of the constituent countries[2] of the United Kingdom.
It occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain
and shares a land border to the south with England. It is
bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean
to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea
to the southwest. Apart from the mainland, Scotland consists
of over 790 islands.[3]
Edinburgh, the nation's capital and second largest city,
is one of Europe's largest financial centres.[4] Scotland's
largest city is Glasgow, the centre of the Greater Glasgow
conurbation which is home to approximately 40% of Scotland's
population. Scottish waters consist of a large sector[5]
of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the
largest oil reserves in the European Union.The Kingdom of
Scotland was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when
the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the
Kingdom of England to create the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Scotland's legal system continues to be separate from those
of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, therefore Scotland
still constitutes a discrete jurisdiction in public and
in private international law.[6] The continued independence
of Scots law, the Scottish education system and the Church
of Scotland have been three cornerstones contributing to
the continuation of Scottish culture and Scottish national
identity since the Union. However, Scotland is no longer
a sovereign state and does not enjoy direct membership of
either the United Nations or the European Union.
