Which capitals are marked?

Those of the four nations: London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, with London ringed as the capital of the United Kingdom. County towns are not marked.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: pupils write each nation and its capital, with the answers on page two.

Can I print it larger?

Yes: choose A3 for more room for the names. The lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.

Why is London ringed?

London is the capital of the United Kingdom as well as of England, so its dot has a ring. Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, the capitals of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, are plain dots with their names.

Example

The four countries and capital cities of the UK on one A4 page, and a quiz to match

A Year 2 teacher in Swansea, teaching the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom, prints the page as it opens: A4 upright, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland named inside, four capital dots with their names, London ringed. Shetland sits in a box at the top right.

“Numbered, to write the names and capitals” gives uk-capitals-worksheet.pdf: page one the map numbered 1 to 4 with the dots and two lines each, headed Country and Capital; page two the answers.
US Letter (216 × 279 mm) and A3 (297 × 420 mm) keep the same layout, every name inside.
Under Divisions, the finer level draws the 112 counties and council areas; the four capitals stay as dots, without their names.

No. on the worksheet	Country	Capital	Name size on A4
1	Scotland	Edinburgh	4.4 mm
2	Northern Ireland	Belfast	2.9 mm
3	Wales	Cardiff	3.4 mm
4	England	London (ringed)	4.4 mm

A wall map and a two-page quiz. Children often put Belfast in Wales or Cardiff in Scotland; the numbered map makes them place each capital in its own country first.

How it works

The map names each division and marks its capital with a dot and its name.
Choose the paper — A3 leaves more room for the names — or the blank style for a quiz.
