No. They are separate countries, with an earlier lengthy political history.
Scotland and England were separate kingdoms until the Act of Union in 1707.
It is a complete misunderstanding (misinformation?) that they are merely
States - and even the States each has its own Senate etc. England has no
Parliament, and has not had since 1707.
