Scotland is one the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom (along with England, Wales and Northern Ireland) in the British Isles. Scotland is in the northern third of the island of Great Britain and consists of approx 800 islands. The Atlantic Ocean is to the north and west of Scotland, the North Channel and the Irish Sea to the southwest, and the North Sea to the east. Edinburgh is the capital, Glasgow is the largest city.

Scotland has settlements as early as the Neolitic; two prominate names of early tribal confederations are the Caledonians (Iron Age period) and Picts (from the Gr. and L. meaning painted or tattooed people).

The name Scotland is derived the Latin Scoti, and refers to the Gaels (Gaelic) or people from Ireland, a name bestowed by the conquering Roman Empire in the first century AD.

The Romans constructed Hadrian's Wall across what is now northern England to stop raids from the north.

Mary I, Queen of Scots
b. 12-8-1542; Linlithgow Palace, Scotland
d. 2-8-1587; beheaded at Northamptonshire

Mary Stuart was crowned Queen of Scotland when she was nine months old, betrothed to the future Francis II of France when she was five, and widowed at the age of 16. Her second marriage to Lord Darnley, produced James I of England, the namesake of the Jamestown Colony. Mary, who was raised a devout Catholic, was the focus of Henry VIII's “rough wooing”, a 1544-1551 war between England and Scotland to make sure his son Edward, and Mary were betrothed. As an adult Mary was eventually imprisoned by her cousin, Elizabeth I, for eighteen years, and finally executed for treason at Fotheringhay Castle.
