North Britain
North Britain is a term which has been occasionally used, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries, for either the northern part of Great Britain or to Scotland, which occupies the northernmost third of the island. Its counterpart is "South Britain", generally used to refer to England and Wales.〔〔〔
==Origin==
Early uses of the designation have been noted after the 1603 Union of the Crowns of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland. King James VI & I used the terms "South Britain" and "North Britain" for England and Scotland respectively, most famously in his Proclamation of 1606 (''here'') establishing the first Union Flag, where Scotland and England are not otherwise named:
This usage was repeated in Charles I's Proclamation of 1634 on the use of the flag, though adding ''England'' and ''Scotland'' too for explanation:
After the Act of Union 1707, Scotland was sometimes referred to as "North Britain". In 1707, the Royal Scots Greys were renamed the "Royal North British Dragoons". In ''Rob Roy'' (1817), Sir Walter Scott refers to a Scottish person in England as a North Briton, sometimes in the mouth of an English character but also in the authorial voice.
