Found in | Britannica Micro.: v. 10, p. 563 (Scotland and England remained separate kingdoms under a single monarch ... until 1707, when the parliaments of both countries passed the Act of Union, which, together with Wales, joined the countries into the Kingdom of Great Britain. As a result of the Act, Scotland dissolved its parliament and sent representatives to the Westminster Parliament, after receiving guarantees of autonomy for Scottish laws and courts and the Presbyterian established church.) |
