What is the difference between UK, England, Great Britain (GB) and British Isles? "England" is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain (or simply Britain), or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK.
England, Scotland, Wales, Great Britain refer to different parts of the UK. The British Isles includes many islands not even part of the UK.
The diverse history of England, Scotland and Wales has led to very different cultural traditions; The Scots and Welsh have right to feel aggrieved whenever the term 'English' is used wrongly, to mean all three.
