No, you're not imagining things, and no, it wasn't answered...... Some people had it down as in the Lakes (or wherever) area so I've made it a bit easier....

Technically, that's the correct answer, so I'm told, as James VI of Scotland (and James 1 of England) was ruler of the two countries in 1604, but the crowns / parliament weren't united.
Yours for # 279, Sher.
