Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
Thing is though Scotland and England a afew wars over who should own it and be King etc it was never really conquered. It was the ambition of Scots to have colonies like England that lead to its downfall. When the colonial enterprise went badly wrong and failed Scotland was in effect bankrupt. So in they asked to be bailed out by England. We had the same person as Monarch but separate parliaments so part oh the deal was that it was one parliament. Oh the joys of the 1707 Act of Union. Many still say that the Scottish Lords of the time sold their own country for English gold. So in a way not conquered but betrayed and sold like slaves.
