  Scottish independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scottish independence is advocated by the political movement of Scottish people that desires that Scotland secede from the United Kingdom and once again become a sovereign independent state as it was prior to 1707.
The Scottish and English Parliaments signed the Act of Union of 1707, both the English and the Scottish Parliaments were dissolved, and all their powers were transferred to a new Parliament in London which then became the Parliament of Great Britain.
Scottish independence is currently supported most notably by the Scottish National Party, the Scottish Green Party, and the Scottish Socialist Party; as well as Margo MacDonald and other independent members of the Scottish parliament.
