To Whit - Empire's charactarisation of Scotland is faulty. It reads the Kurdish experience in the Middle East onto Scotland. The comparison might be applied to Wales or pre-Republican Ireland but not to Scotland after the Act of Union.

The essential point is that Scotland chose to merge with England -it was negotiated and agreed to Scotland's benefit.
The best bit in Empire's version of history was how England occupied Scotland in 1600 AD. Another example of English imperialism, just like how England occupied Normandy in 1066.
