What is the distance between the north coast of Scotland and the south-west corner of England?
Correct Answer: 870 miles
The distance from the north coast of Scotland (around Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland Great Britain) to the south-west corner of England (Land's End in Cornwall) is approximately 870 miles.
This gives a sense of the scale of Great Britain — the island contains three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales.
