The Union with Scotland (Amendment) Act 1707 (6 Ann.) is an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain. It is chapter VI in the common printed editions.

It united the English and Scottish Privy Councils and decentralised Scottish administration by appointing justices of the peace in each shire to carry out administration.
