The United Kingdom (UK) stretches over both the large island of Great Britain and small islands surrounding it (east) and the northernmost section of the island of Ireland. Scotland, England, and Wales are located on Great Britain with Northern Ireland sitting on the northern sixth of the island of Ireland.
