Scotland Yard is a place in London, England. The name dates from a time (before 1707) when Scotland and England were still separate countries each with their own king, court and government. As a result the Scottish kings kept their own embassy in London, just as they did in any other foreign country, with their own ambassadors and representatives. The English king granted them an area for their embassy. This area which they inhabited in London was known as "Scotland Yard".
In Victorian times the building which was erected on the same spot was known as Scotland Yard and it was occupied by the police force. Soon the name "Scotland Yard" became synonymous with the Metropolitan Police force.
Nowadays a new office has been erected on the same place, again occupied by the police, but known as "New Scotland Yard"......Not true.
Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the London police, is so called because it used to be in a street called Scotland Yard.
The original Scotland Yard was an area near Westminster Palace occupied by the Scottish Ambassador to the English court. Later an office block was built on the same spot and took the name Scotland Yard. When it was demolished and a new office block was erected on the same spot it was called New Scotland Yard. So the old Scotland Yard is beneath the foundations of New Scotland Yard!
The headquarters of the Metropolitan Police is so called because they were originally located in a street called Scotland Yard in London. The street is still there, but the police have moved to bigger premises in the Victoria area. Scotland Yard was originally where the Scottish Ambassador lived in London before the political union of England and Scotland.
