Edinburgh, Yorkshire, Stratford, London, extension to Paris

How do two nations that share a border, an island and a government maintain their own cultural identities?

Though bonded politically by the United Kingdom and geographically by the island of Great Britain, England and Scotland each maintain their own distinct character.
