Scottish Independence Act, 2015 (Scotland says "Yes")

The Acts of Scottish Independence were two Acts of Parliament: the Seperation of Scotland from the United Kingdom Act 2015 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and the Scottish Independence Act 2015 by the Scottish Assembly. They put into effect the terms of the Treaty of Independence that had been agreed on 13th February 2015, following months of negoitiations by representation.

The two countries had shared a monarch since the Union of the Crowns in 1603 with James VI of Scotland, and been part of the same country since 1707. The act seperated the two crowns, though Elizabeth II remains head of state of both nations.

The Acts took effect on the 15th March. On this date, the British Government and Parliament renounced sovereignty over Scotland, and the Scottish Assembly took over sovereignty of Scotland, under Elizabeth II.

In direct contrast to the Acts of Union, the Acts have sometimes been referred to as the Acts of Disunion.
