All about the UK for Kids

In All about the UK for Kids, you will learn about the four countries that make up the United Kingdom. When people mention the UK, they are not talking about a country but about the countries that are part of it! Those four countries are England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. And no, Northern Ireland is not the same as Ireland. Those are two separate countries, and Ireland is not part of the UK. The official name of this collection of countries is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That’s because Great Britain constitutes England, Scotland, and Wales. The largest country by both area and population is England. Believe it or not, even though Northern Ireland is an entire country, fewer people live there than in London, England! London is home to nearly 9 million people, while Northern Ireland in its entirely is home to about 1.8 million people. There are some really interesting places to visit throughout the UK. One of them is Loch Ness in Scotland
