<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Scotland</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> had a Reformation Parliament in
1560, which repudiated the pope's authority, forbade the celebration of the
Mass and approved a Protestant Confession of Faith. The Union of the Crowns was in 1603 and the Union
of Parliaments in 1706/7. The Gregorian Calender was decreed by Pope Gregory
XIII on 24 February 1582 some 20 or so years after the Scottish
Reformation. Great Britain
adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752, After the Union. I'm no Expert so I may
have misunderstood something. Anyway ...<br>
