Yes, according to the founding dates, Scotland is older than England.
The question asks about the age of Scotland and England, specifically whether Scotland is older. To answer this accurately, we can look at the dates each country was founded.
According to historical records, as referenced below, Scotland was founded in 843 CE, while England was founded in 927 CE. Therefore, Scotland is older than England based on these founding dates.
| Country | Founding Date |
|---|---|
| Scotland | 843 CE |
| England | 927 CE |
Keep in mind that while Scotland and England have older founding dates, the modern Kingdom of Great Britain was formed much later, in 1707, when England (which had already incorporated Wales) and Scotland merged. This refers to the formation of the United Kingdom, a separate and later historical event than the initial founding of each country.
