UK IS NOT A COUNTRY
Most people think the UK is a Country on its own. That's not true. There are four countries in the UK with each having their capitals.
Some often confuse England, the United Kingdom and Great Britain.
England is a country just like Nigeria and its capital is London just like Abuja is the capital of Nigeria
Great Britain is a collection of 3 countries which came together as one country and has its capital as London. Those 3 countries are:
1. England,
2. Scotland
3. Wales.
When you include Northern Ireland to these 3 countries, they become the United Kingdom (Union of four nations)
1. England,
2. Scotland,
3. Wales, and
4. Northern Ireland.
That is why it is referred to as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Collectively, the four are taken as one country. London is its capital.
These four individual nations all have their own respective capitals.
Accordingly, the capital of
Scotland is Edinburgh,
Wales is Cardiff;
Northern Ireland is Belfas
