    The Scots wouldn’t agree with this. I’ve spent a lot of time there.

    The Shetlands, Orkneys, Harris and the rest of the Hebrides aren’t even mentioned. Haha

      Well, Scots would often say “we’re not British but we are Scottish” since British usually means “from the UK” but I don’t think any of them would deny that most of Scotland is in Great Britain.

      And Anglesey in Wales, and Wight in England, etc. Honestly I’m not a fan of this diagram.

      Those are groups of northern islands, so they were excluded. Unlike Northern Ireland, which isn’t an island so it was included.
