Independence for Scotland / London

[Gie]

Just been to Scotland and it's a lovely place. If they gain their independence, they deserve to be. Its a country in itself whilst London is part of England. Would it still be called United Kingdom if Scotland gain their independence?

Gie: The clue is in the name 'UNITED KINGDOM'

(UNITE: to join, combine, or incorporate so as to form a single whole or unit.)

LMAO! bigmarco What I am trying to say is, will it still be United if Scotland becomes independent. The only kingdom left would be Wales and England, I suppose it will still be called United Kingdom even if lolz

Gie, you're absolutely right, Scotland IS, indeed, a lovely place ... !

Well ... ... the part where I am fortunate enough to reside certainly rivals ANYWHERE else on the planet for beautiful scenery ... its only drawback being the unpredictable weather there. Yes ... it IS a *country. But, even as *such, it's one of four nations constituting the United Kingdom which - as Simon has already explained - comprises England, Wales, Scotland and also Northern Ireland.
