rest of the UK
Non-English British territories
The rest of the UK refers to the parts of the United Kingdom outside whichever region is being discussed—most often England, Wales, and Northern Ireland when viewed from Scotland, or the three other nations when viewed from England.
The phrase gained prominence during Scottish independence debates: Scotland's trade with the rest of the UK.
It acknowledges the UK as a union of distinct parts rather than a single unit.
