Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom, located in the northern part of Great Britain.
From Old English “Scottas” meaning “Gaelic speakers” or “Irish,” and “land” meaning “territory.” It originally referred to lands associated with the Scots people.
Scotland’s name originally pointed to people, not geography—the Scots. Over time, a label for a group of humans solidified into the name of a country with its own laws, accents, and identity.
