==Information==
Scotland is a one of the four constituent countries of the [[United Kingdom]] (together with [[England Genealogy|England]], [[Wales Genealogy|Wales]] and [[Northern Ireland Genealogy|Northern Ireland]]). In 1707, the Kingdom of Scotland joined the [[England|Kingdom of England]] in union to become the [[Great Britain|Kingdom of Great Britain]]. The official language is English.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Scotland," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland, accessed 23 March 2016.</ref>, although Scottish Gaelic has some legal status within certain contexts.


Scotland has also been known unofficially as "Caledonia", hence the many "Caledonian Societies" around the world.
