The United Kingdom does not have an official language, but de facto it is English. In Wales, Welsh and English are legally equal, and in Scotland, Gaelic is also equal to English. The United Kingdom recognizes Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Irish, Scots and Ulster Scots as minority languages. So no, the UK is not monolingual.
