Scotlandshire is a term used to denote either the anglicisation of Scotland or the subordinate political relationship with England. It is recorded as early as 1706 in ' anti-Union Third Treatise. By placing the suffix -shire after the country's name, the term attempts to parody the early modern tendency to place the word -shire after some ancient Scottish regions, as well as implicating in a tongue-in-cheek manner that Scotland has the status of an English county, rather than that of a distinct nation. Hence, the term is political in nature. Others have alternative names ending in -shire.

  • Scotlandshire is a term used to denote either the anglicisation of Scotland or the subordinate political relationship with England. It is recorded as early as 1706 in ' anti-Union Third Treatise.

Hence, the term is political in nature. Several historic regions of Scotland have at times had the suffix -shire added when Scotland broadly adopted English-style county councils during the 19th century. * Argyll - Argyllshire * Bute (County of) - Buteshire * Fife - Fifeshire * Moray - Morayshire (or Elginshire) * Ross - Ross-shire * Sutherland - Sutherlandshire Others have alternative names ending in -shire. * Angus - Forfarshire * East Lothian - Haddingtonshire * Midlothian - Edinburghshire * West Lothian - Linlithgowshire (en)
