Scotland Yard
If Scotland becomes independent will it become EX-Scotland Yard ?
Scotland Yard is a metonym for the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service of the British capital, London.
It derives from the location of the original Metropolitan Police headquarters at 4 Whitehall Place, which had a rear entrance on a street called Great Scotland Yard.[1]
The Scotland Yard entrance became the public entrance to the police station.
Over time, the street and the Metropolitan Police became synonymous.
