Nobody ... it has always been habitated since the last ice age receeded. Scotland was a nation before England became one, and only in 1770 did the two join, along with Wales to become what is called today, "Great Britain".

No-one. Great Britain didn't exist as a political entity until the 18th century. The United Kingdom came into existence with the Act of Union of 1701. Even England wasn't really a nation until the late Anglo-Saxon period, around the time of Edward the Confessor. It was never "discovered" as such. Its existence was well-known to the Roman Empire, which is why they decided to add it to their collection of other territories during the reign of Julius Caesar.

FYI- Columbus did not discover the USA, He landed in the West Indies, which like the rest of the Americas were already occupied. Not being the "shapest knife in the drawer, he thought he was in India, hence the misnomer " Indians" for the indigenous peoples.

The British Isles Great Britain have been populated by human beings for hundreds of thousands of years, but it was the introduction of farming around 7,000 years ago that began a process of radical change.

The first Cro-Magnons discovered it, after the last ice age.
And the place has been getting invaded by undesirables ever since!

it became populated during/after the last Ice Age (the Pleistocene period) because alot of land was connected by ice sheets (parts of the ocean were frozen) so Britain was connected to Europe, so humans were able to walk across.
