THE WORLD INTRODUCTION OF BRITAIN I TO BRITAIN The United Kingdom (UK) constitutes the greater part of the British Isles. The largest of the islands is Great Britain, which comprises England, Scotland and Wales. The next largest comprises Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, and the Irish Republic. Western Scotland is fringed by the large island chains known as the Inner and Outer Hebrides, and to the north east of the Scottish mainland are the Orkney and Shetland Islands. All these, along with the Isle of Wight, Anglesey and the Isles of Scilly, have administrative ties with the mainland, but the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea and the Channel Islands between Great Britain and France are largely self-governing, and are not part of the UK. The UK is one the 15 member states of the European Union. With an area of about 243,000 sq km (93,000 sq mile excluding inland water, the United Kingdom is just und 1,000 km (about 600 miles) from the south coast to the extreme north of Scotland and just under 500 km (around 300 miles) across at the widest point. The population of the UK increased from 38.2 million in 1901 to 59.2 million in 1998. Although the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the United Kingdom, they have a special relationship with it. The Channel Islands were part of the_ Duchy of Normandy in the 10th and 11th centuries and remained subject to the English Crown after the loss of mainland Normandy to the French in 1204. The Isle of Man was under the nominal sovereignty of Norway until 1266, and eventually came under the direct administration of the British Crown in 1765, when it was bought for £ 70,000. Its parliament, "Tynwald", was established more than 1,000 years ago and is the oldest legislature in continuous existence in the world. Today the territories have their own legislative assemblies and systems of law, and their own taxation systems. The British Government is responsible for their international relations and external defence. The climate in the United Kingdom is generally mild and temperate. Prevailing winds are south-westerly and the weather from day to day is mainly influenced by depressions. Average annual rainfall is more than 1,600 mm in the mountainous areas of the west and north but less than 800 mm over central and eastern parts. Rain is fairly well distributed throughout the year, but, on average, March to June are the driest months and September to January the wettest. The UK is home to a great variety of wildlife, with an estimated 30,000 animal species, as well as marine and microscopic life; about 2,800 species of "higher" plants; and many thousands of mosses, fungi and algae. However, the unusual weather of recent years — together with changes in farming methods, urban development and oth- er factors — has put pressure on a number of species, such as the song thrush, dormouse and great crested newt. ■ Learn the facts about Britain Highest mountain: Ben Nevis, in the Highlands of Scotland, 1,243 m Longest river: the Severn, 354 km long Largest lake: Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland, 396 sq km Deepest lake: Loch Morar in the Highlands of Scot land, 310m Highest waterfall: Eas a'Chual Aluinn, from Glas Bheinn, also in the Highlands of Scotland, with a drop of 200 m * Deepest cave: Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, Wales, 308 m Closest point to mainland continental Europe: Dover, Kent.
