Scotland

Cumberland - no problem, historic county & former admin county
- admin Cumberland did exclude Carlisle but not a problem. otherwise no notable border changes.
Westmorland - not a problem - historic county & former admin county
- all these had identical borders

Rutland - not a problem - historic county, former admin county, former shire district, modern unitary district & ceremonial county
- all these had identical borders

East Riding of Yorkshire - covers historic riding, former admin county modern council area and modern ceremonial county
- historic riding and admin county should be treated in same article
- council area and ceremonial county should be treated in same article
  - we could possibly have an East Riding of Yorkshire (historic) to treat the older boundaries, but we don't at the moment

Herefordshire
- whilst herefordshire was abolished and restored, the boundaries are identical so there is no need to split

Worcestershire
- there may be a case for a separate article about the pre-1974 and historic Worcestershire. this needs examining. note though that Worcestershire remained a postal county after 1974, with the post-1998 borders, so splitting would probably be unintuitive.

Huntingdonshire
- we have Huntingdonshire the historic and former administrative county, and also
- Huntingdonshire district, which was briefly known as Huntingdon district
  - there might be a case for splitting an article Huntingdonshire (historic) off, about the former admin county & historic county. however, the differences between the pre-1965 boundary and the post-1974 district boundary are relatively small (Old Fletton) and this is probably not worthwhile

if we are to split Cambridgeshire it should be three ways
