I hate to disappoint you but you've got it pretty much wrong. I'm surprised
some Scot out there hasn't bitten your head off by now. Have you actually
seen the film Braveheart? It was about William Wallace who fought against
the English in the early 13th. century. He was Scottish, wasn't he? Don't
you realize that the Scots were at war with the English right up to Tudor
times. Scotland and England were only united in 1701.
But Scotland was never conquered, and when we did join England in 170
7, it was as partners in the Act of Union. The crown of England was abolished alongside that of Scotland, and a new kingdom, Great Britain, was formed out of both nations.
And what aboutBonnie Prince Charlie. I presume you've heard of the Battle of Colloden in 1745.
Culloden was part of a Jacobites uprising, not a Scottish separatist one, and was suppressed by loyalist Scottish forces. The Jacobites didn't want an independent Scotland- even if some of the cland did- they wanted the Stuarts to take the British throne. Scottish independence would just have been second place.
Remember, the majority of the Loyalist forces at Culloden were Scottish, not English- 8 English battalions to 11 Scottish, not to mention assorted Highland Loyalists.
The conflict was, essentially, one between pro-Hanoverian Lowland Presbyterians and pro-Stewart Highland Catholics and Episcopaleans, Scottish nationalism was always a minor issue.
If the Scots were ever treated the same as the English before then,
then somebody forgot to tell the Scots. They fought against the English
for just as long and just as hard as the Irish ever did.
True, we fought the English too, but the difference between us and Ireland is that we
won. That's why we were partners in the Union, not a colony.
No-one ever said that Scotland didn't fight England, they just said that we were never conquered. Strangely enough, that's not something that most Scots feel like denying.
