Being of Tudor blood on his mothers side, King James VI inherited his mother's claim on the English throne when she was executed by Elizabeth I. Keeping good relations towards the English, even though they had executed his mother, would put him within reach of the English crown, while an outcry for revenge would probably have earned him respect among many of his noblemen it would possibly have squandered any opportunity to gain the English crown peacefully.

By the later 1580s, with the execution of Mary Stuart and James' twenty-first birthday, it was increasingly evident that James would succeed Elizabeth to the English throne, and a formal alliance between the countries seemed an appropriate first step. The alliance was actually concluded a year before Mary's execution, but having passed that crisis it grew steadily stronger and led ultimately to James' accession in 1603.

some text fixing:
Elizabeth I fell ill in February 1603, suffering from frailty and insomnia. After a period of distressing reflection, on 24 March she died. The will of Henry VIII declared that his daughter Elizabeth was to be succeeded by the descendants of his younger sister, Mary Tudor, Duchess of Suffolk, rather than by the Scottish descendants of his elder sister, Margaret Tudor. However, if the rules of male primogeniture were upheld and the successor James VI, King of Scots, would become the legitimate successor on the throne of England
. T, there were other male alternative heirs but none of them pressed their claims. Still being in Scotland at that time, James VI was proclaimed King of England as James I a few hours after Elizabeth's death by a Council of Accession.
and a NEW event.text line:

Many Scots viewed the Union of the Crowns in 1603 as a disaster. It created the problem of one King ruling over two Parliaments. To King James, now holding court in London, the English Parliament was by far the more important of the two houses. At the time, his plan for a Union of Great Britain proved to be unpopular on all sides and it was quietly abandoned.
Here some tweaks in references and description:

The claim cores will be removed in ENG_154050, but I need to fine tune other events before posting the final suggestion.
EDIT: fixed a bug in triggers and province names as per Therion's suggestion in PV British Isles thread.
