189. Why is Scotland in the UK? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Thinking in English
The Difference Between Great Britain and the United Kingdom
While Britain and the UK are often used interchangeably, they do not have the same exact meaning. Great Britain is a political term for the Union of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom is an independent UN-recognised country that combines Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I was born in the nation of England and therefore I am English. But someone born in Scotland is also British and a UK citizen, but they are not English, they are Scottish. If you were born in Northern Ireland, things are a little more confusing. Instead you would be Northern Irish and technically Irish as you were born on the geographical island called Ireland. Overall, I don't blame you if you are confused.
