Question

What we're the impact of act of union on Scotland? (For 3 marks)

Answer 1

Answer:The Acts of Union were two Acts of Parliament: the Union with Scotland Act 1706 passed by the Parliament of England, and the Union with England Act passed in 1707 by the Parliament of Scotland. They put into effect the terms of the Treaty of Union that had been agreed on 22 July 1706, following negotiation between commissioners representing the parliaments of the two countries. By the two Acts, the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland—which at the time were separate states with separate legislatures, but with the same monarch—were, in the words of the Treaty, "United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain". The two countries had shared a monarch since the Union of the Crowns in 1603, when King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne from his double first cousin twice removed, Queen Elizabeth I. Although described as a Union of Crowns, until 1707 there were in fact two separate Crowns resting on the same head.

Answer:

The Union altered Scotland in other more subtle ways. Though the country retained many of its pre-existing intellectual, economic and religious links with continental Europe, the kingdom was increasingly influenced by English trends. The country was also re-interpreted in geographic terms as 'North Britain'.
