Until Scotland has its independence, Snowdon is not the highest mountain in the UK.
On the topic of independence, I find my students are much more interested in current issues, such as devolution, than the countries' histories. I would replace no. 10 with 'Wales has had its own government since 1998.' (True - In referendums in 1997, the people of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to have their own assemby or parliament.)
