"Sadly <weg> to the dismay of a good number of us Scots, I truly believe JKR 
is referring to Britain as a whole. Logically, the duration of the trip from 
London, platform 9and3/4, to Hogwarts, although not actually named in hours, 
but rather in shifts of skylines and light to dark, I have always assumed 
that Hogwarts was in Scotland."

Now me:

There is canonical evidence that Hogwarts is in Scotland: Firstly, in CoS, we 
hear that the flying Ford Anglia was seen by someone from Peebles (which, for 
those who may not know, is in the southern part of Scotland, just south of 
Edinburgh). Also, in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there is 
mention of an unconfirmed Acromantula colony in Scotland. The existence of 
which can of course be confirmed by Harry and Ron. <g>

California later this month, where there won't be much chance of seeing JKR 
doing her shopping, as I did once at a department store in Edinburgh).
