    SCOTLAND THE BRAVE? AN OVERVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ON BUSINESS JULY 2021 SCOTLAND THE BRAVE? AN OVERVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ON BUSINESS Scottish independence remains very much a live issue, as First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, continues to push for a second referendum, but the prospect of possible independence raises a host of legal issues. In this overview, we examine how Scotland might achieve independence; the effect of independence on Scotland's international status, laws, people and companies; what currency Scotland might use; the implications for tax, pensions and financial services; and the consequences if Scotland were to join the EU. The Treaty of Union between England of pro-independence MSPs to 72; more, (which included Wales) and Scotland even, than in 2011. provided that the two Kingdoms "shall upon the first day of May [1707] and Independence, should it happen, will forever after be United into one Kingdom affect anyone who does business in or by the Name of Great Britain."

  • The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Great Britain
    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Great Britain Basic Facts: . The “United Kingdom” includes Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland. Great Britain and Northern Ireland are the two main islands of the United Kingdom. The national capital is London. The flag of the UK represents England, Northern Scotland, the flag of Great Britain, and Northern Ireland. This is sometimes confusing. Let’s look at some different names that are sometimes confused: o England = ___________________ o Britain= ______________________ + __________________ o Great Britain= ________________ + __________________+___________________ o United Kingdom= _____________ +___________________+ _________________+__________________ . In addition to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom has many small islands. It also has many territories around the world that may not officially be considered part of the United Kingdom but do have a special relationship with the British government. Weather: Great Britain experiences plenty of rainfall, and the weather is often changeable and difficult to predict. Because of this, weather is often a topic for discussion. Because of the abundant rainfall and mild climate, Britain is great environment for plants to grow and is very green. Language: English is the official language for the entire United Kingdom, but some people speak it in different ways, influenced by their family history. (Welsh English, Scottish English, etc.) Other Nationalities: The United Kingdom contains people from many countries. These immigrants sometimes live in communities with other immigrants from the same area. As of 1998, there were 170,000 Chinese living in Britain, mostly from Hong Kong. 1/3 of those Chinese were living in London at the time.

  • Devolution in the UK: Historical Perspective Dr
    Devolution in the UK: Historical Perspective Dr. Andrew Blick, King’s College London This paper considers the current territorial distribution of political authority within the United Kingdom (UK), and prospects for the future, from an historical perspective. It discusses the uneven and diverse ways in which UK governance has developed, how they have led to the present position, and what the consequent trajectories of development might be. The author also considers whether the analysis of specific circumstances or tendencies from the past may enhance our understanding of contemporary issues. The overall purpose of the paper is to answer the questions: how did we get where we are now, and what guidance might past patterns of development offer for the future? It begins by considering the nature of the UK as a multinational, ‘union’ state, and the constitutional implications. Next it discusses the history of devolution, both as a concept and a practical reality, the different models employed, and the particular issues that arise. Finally, it assesses what might be the range of options of the future development of devolution in the UK, based on the patterns to date. A multinational union The UK came into being (and then lost some of its territory) in a series of bilateral actions. England fully absorbed Wales in the mid-sixteenth century. Scotland and England entered into a union, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain, in 1706- 1707. The Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland was passed in 1800, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The departure of most of Ireland in the 1920s led eventually to the adoption of a new name for the country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

The creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, which unified the kingdoms of Scotland and England into a single political unit, was the result of an Act and of current political circumstances.

  • HISTORY of the FLAG of UNITED KINGDOM Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers HISTORY OF THE FLAG OF UNITED KINGDOM Where In The World Trivia The terms the “Union Jack” or “Union Flag” are equally correct and can be used in whatever context required. (This issue is discussed by The Flag Institute in a publication that can be found here) Technical Specification Adopted: 1st January 1801 Proportion: 3:5 on land, 1:2 at sea Design: A white-fimbriated symmetric red cross on a blue field with a white-fimbriated counter-changed saltire of red and white Colours: PMS - Red: 186, Royal Blue: 280 CMYK - Red: 76% Yellow, 91% Magenta, 6% Black. Royal Blue: 100% Cyan, 72% Magenta, 18.5% Black Brief History There was a union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 when James VI of Scotland became the King of England and Ireland as James I. In 1606 King James proclaimed that there would be one flag that would represent the whole of the United Kingdom and it was created using the Saltire of Scotland and the St. Georges cross. This was known as the Flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain. At this time Wales was considered to be part of England and it is therefore is represented on the flag as part of the English St. Georges cross. In 1800 the Act of Union enabled the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland to join together and in 1801 the cross of St. Patricks was added to the Flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain to create the Flag of the United Kingdom - the Union Jack (flag) we have and use today.

  • The United Kingdom
    Propriété de WAM Corporate The United Kingdom This is an abbreviation of 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. It is often further abbreviated to 'UK', and is the political name of the country which is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (sometimes known as Ulster). Several islands off the British coast are also part of the United Kingdom (for example, the Isle of Wight, the Orkneys, Hebrides and Shetlands, and the Isles of Scilly), although the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not. However, all these islands do recognize the Queen. Great Britain This is the name of the island which is made up of England, Scotland and Wales and so, strictly speaking, it does not include Northern Ireland. The origin of the word 'Great' is a reference to size, because in many European languages the words for Britain and Brittany in France are the same. In fact, it was the French who first talked about Grande Bretagne! In everyday speech 'Britain' is used to mean the United Kingdom. The British Isles This is the geographical name that refers to all the islands off the north west coast of the European continent: Great Britain, the whole of Ireland (Northern and Southern), the Propriété de WAM Corporate Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. But it is important to remember that Southern Ireland - that is the Republic of Ireland (also called 'Eire') - is completely independent. So you can see that 'The United Kingdom' is the correct name to use if you are referring to the country in a political, rather than in a geographical way.
