The Treaty of Union of Scottish and Westminster Parliaments ratified

The Treaty of Union between the Scottish and English Parliaments was ratified on January 16, 1707. This treaty marked the political union of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, resulting in the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

The Treaty of Union was a significant historical event that brought about political and economic integration between the two kingdoms. It laid the foundation for the combined Parliament of Great Britain and set the stage for future political developments, including the Act of Union with Ireland in 1800, which led to the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The ratification of the Treaty of Union in 1707 is a crucial moment in British and Scottish history, and it had a profound and lasting impact on the political and constitutional structure of the United Kingdom.
