None of Hadrian's Wall is in modern-day Scotland, and it has never defined the England/Scotland border.

It runs roughly from Newcastle, past Carlisle, through to the Solway Firth.

New I'm aware it never had been the Scottish border, but I thought it was close enough. Apologies.
I think the Leave/Remain voter split in your country is very like our Red/Blue voter split over here. I don't see how either set of divisions can be reconciled. I'm increasingly being led to believe that neither Brits nor Americans are governable as a whole.
