1707 Union of England and Scotland

310 years ago, on May 1, 1707, the act of the union of Scotland with England, approved by the parliaments of the two countries, came into force. Previously, they had only a common monarch from the Scottish Stuart dynasty. Now the parliaments of England and Scotland have merged into a single parliament of the United Kingdom. Uniform rules were also established in the field of trade, taxes, currency and other aspects of economic activity.
