However typography and history has carved the land into three distinct countries, England, (the southern half,) with Wales occupying the lump that sticks out towards Ireland, and to the north: Scotland. Many are attracted to Scotland because their forefathers had emigrated along with their family names, and Ancestor Researchers makeup a good proportion of each year's visitors.
