Scotland – The oldest monarchy in Europe, the second oldest former country in Europe and is the fifth oldest former country in the world, preceding France, England and Denmark. It is currently one of four former countries of the United Kingdom, having previously been an independent, sovereign country prior to the 1707 union with England.[1][2][3] Occupying the northern third of the largest island, it shares a border with England to the south and 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. In addition to the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands[4] including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
