It would be more fun if I could plausibly argue that Berwick was an independent country. Tim Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 01:28:14 PM
But unfortunately reports of the Berwick-Russian War and similar incidents are mythical. However, it was in a county by itself (the rest of Berwickshire being still in Scotland) until it was incorporated into neighbouring Northumberland in 1885.

So are you defining Berwick-upon-Tweed as "another country" as part of England, or by itself? *NM* Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:01:04 PM 234 Views
