Scotland is a country but not an independent country (yet!) as it exists within the framework / political union of The United Kingdom and retains its sovereign state status and strong national identity.
Is Scotland considered part of England?
The United Kingdom (UK) is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Are England and Scotland part of the same country?
The United Kingdom (UK) quite a mouthful! It is a sovereign state (in the same way as France or the USA) but is made up of four countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
