Date still not mentioned on either pages. -- PFHLai 18:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Act of Union

In light of this year's anniversary being a big deal, I had bumped it up from the commented-out section (I assume it had been up on a previous March 26.) Looking now, there's no cited basis for March 26, 1707, only the date it entered force, so I'll pull it back. The Tom 20:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
