It was bankrupt. Scotland was a complete and utter economic basket case, the 17th/18th century equivalent of Zimbabwe. The only reason that Scotland entered a union with England was so that the English could bail them out; we have been doing that every year for the last three hundred.
The sooner Scotland withdraws from the Union, the better. I am sick to the teeth of having to see English money go north of the border in order to see the ungrateful tartan mob do nothing but whinge, whine and waste our coin. Let 'em have their independance; within a year or two they will have reverted to what they once where - fit for nowt, other than distilling whisky and rustling cattle.
