Scotland
Scotland is the most northerly of the four parts of the United Kingdom, occupying about one-third of the island of Great Britain.
The name Scotland derives from the Latin Scotia, land of the Scots, a Celtic people from Ireland who settled on the west coast of Great Britain around the 5th century CE
