The UK can not have a written constitution; simply because that of England is incompatible with that of Scotland.
In Scotland, the people are sovereign, can (and have) sacked their monarch.
In England, the monarch was sovereign, now it is "the crown in Parliament" which is sovereign after parliament executed a king, and took the power.
Those two positions can not be accommodated, so they're forgotten about, and the establishment acts as if the constitution is that of England - i.e. Scotland wass annexed.
