Scotland
United Kingdom
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. It lies farther north than the other parts of the United Kingdom and covers about one third of the island of Great Britain. Scotland is the second largest country in the United Kingdom.
Scotland contains over 790 islands. Most of the islands are in the Hebrides and the Northern Isles.

| Edinburgh, Scotland |
Edinburgh, in the county of Midlothian, is the capital of Scotland. Financial institutions in the city financed much of the development - ranching, railroads, timber and mining - of the western United States.
Scotland’s legal, educational, religious and other institutions remain separate from the rest of the United Kingdom. Since the union with England, in 1707, this has allowed Scottish culture and national identity to persist.
Scottish Parliament
In 1999, a new Scottish Parliament, the first since 1707, was elected. This gave Scotland significant control over Scottish affairs.
