Scotland had zero contribution to the empire you absolute weirdo, individual Scots did. Scotlandhad never colonised anyone or made any decision to invade anywhere and forcibly subjugate the local populace in order to steal their natural resources, that was all London champ. The deaths of the tens of millions in the British empire lie 100% at the door of the houses of parliament champ, and last time I checked they're not in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland reveled in Empire and, pound for pound, contributed more than any constituent part of The UK. Not for nothing it's been called The Scottish Empire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually our country was not consulted on joining the union and had no way whatsoever of leaving it and determining it's own foreign policy for the next 300 years. Apart from that spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
