Abstract
The article deals with the evolution of constitutional status of Scotland in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since 1707 till nowadays. The author identifies the key elements of the discussion about the status of the region in British constitutional science. The article contains the characteristic of the main stages in the development of the status of Scotland in the process of the transformation of Great Britain from a unitary polity to a regionalized state. In the same time, the author proposes a new understanding of regionalized state as a separate form of territorial constitution which differs from unitarism or federalism. The article provides an analysis of the contemporary status of Scotland as a component part of the UK in the light of the main distinctive features of a regionalized state as a form of territorial constitution.
