A "United Kingdom" of what? The Union of England and Scotland from 1707 is called Great Britain (Article 1, Act of Union, 1707). Great Britain united with Ireland (then one single country) in 1800 to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Upon partition of Ireland in 1922 this became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. If Scotland and England split, Great Britain ceases to exist. So what would you call what's left? Bear in mind the real possibility of an executed Brexit leading to a reunited Ireland (where demographically the population will anyway be majority Catholic by 2025).
