Geography of the UK

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It also governs the small island countries around the main island. The prime meridian runs through Greenwich, England because Sir George Airy developed the latitude and longitude system at the Greenwich Observatory. This is also the origin for the global time system.

The capital of the UK and the country of England is London. The capital cities of Scotland, Wales and North Ireland are Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast respectively. All of these countries within the UK offer unique differences and cultural identities. They share a collective bond of political and economical systems but they offer diverse attractions

Scotland

Edinburgh is a historical city full of castles and imperial architecture. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the UK and the entire world.

North Ireland

Belfast is a fun place to rent a car and tour the historical downtown. If you want to get away from the city, you can drive around the countryside and visit hundreds of different castles.
