The Scots wouldn't agree with this. I've spent a lot of time there.
The Shetlands, Orkneys, Harris and the rest of the Hebrides aren't even mentioned. Haha
Well, Scots would often say "we're not British but we are Scottish" since British usually means "from the UK" but I don't think any of them would deny that most of Scotland is in Great Britain.
The North shall rise again
And Anglesey in Wales, and Wight in England, etc. Honestly I'm not a fan of this diagram.
Those are groups of northern islands, so they were excluded. Unlike Northern Ireland, which isn't an island so it was included.
???
The diagram shows Scotland, England and Wales as being entirely within Great Britain, which is incorrect; all three extend to other islands as well.
