@@brownwarrior6867. YES. SOAR ALBA GU BRATH

I think he means 943!

@George Job King Kenneth MacAlpin reigned from 843 to 858, so he's 9th century, not 6th. It wasn't only the English who never conquered Scotland, the Romans, the Vikings and the Normans failed to conquer Scotland too. The Romans built two walls to keep the Picts and Scots out of their Empire, Hadrian's wall between the Solway Firth and the River Tyne, and The Antonine Wall between The Clyde and The Forth rivers. The Scots invited the Normans into Scotland, possibly the start of The Auld Alliance between Scotland and France.

Aye, me annaw....

@@eldritch.blasphemian the personal union? Nope.

El Diablo didn’t we have the same king as England at the time

I think you might be confusing the Union of the Crowns 1603 with the Act of Union 1707 whereby the parliaments of England and Scotland combined and met in London. Separate and different events.

@@maconescotland8996 Exactly. James the 6th was offered the English, as well as the Scottish throne, which he already held, in 1603, on the death of Elizabeth the 1st of England, when she died childless, owing to him being descended from Henry the 7th of England. He was keen to bring about a union of the Scottish and English parliaments at the time also, but both parliaments were opposed to it back then. In 1707, at the time of the Act of Union (union between the Scottish and English parliament's) Queen Anne was on the throne, though monarchs now did not have the same power as a century earlier, when the Union of the Crowns had happened. I won't go into all the stories about possible/probable bribery of members of the Scottish parliament, to vote for a union. However, I seem to remember that the Earl of Mar, who led the 1715 Jacobite rebellion, had earlier been one of the biggest supporters of the Act of Union. This was the largest Jacobite rebellion to take place on mainland Britain, though I'm not sure if the one in Ireland, in the late 17th Century wasn't larger. People however see the Jacobite rebellions, as being about freeing Scotland from English rule, when they were dynastic struggles, had some support in England, the largest rebellion may have been in Ireland and by the 1745 one anyway, most Scots seemed to be opposed to the Jacobites, despite them seemingly becoming synonymous with Scotland, since then. (You just have to look at how tiny the 1745/46 Jacobite army was, compared to the Scottish Covenanting army a century earlier, which fought Oliver Cromwell in the 1650's! Many, of whose descendants incidentally, were the sort of Scots most likely to be anti Jacobite!)

I thought unicorn was a vegetable, we grow all kinds of corn here in Wisconsin.

What's funny is I'm scottish and I took a test to see what is my mythical creature and it turned out to be a unicorn

100% agree

I too agree. As a person visiting Scotland frequently,l know this beautiful country is a panorama of scenic beauty which we see only in paintings. The country can boast of rich culture that has a long history. People have a way of life which is simple, uncomplicated and very peaceful. A place l would love to visit again and again and again....💜

And we are the oldest monarchy in Europe.

We are all Britons and it is kind of natural for an island with such similar culture and traditions to be one country in my opinion. Even the Celtic origin thing isn’t unique to Scotland and is spread throughout Britain and its isles.

Dunsapie “our monarchy” is bollocks as basically every surviving European monarch is a blood relative...

@@roosterbooster6238 Being a blood relative has nothing to do with how old a monarchy is.

Dunsapie “our” monarchy could quite easily lay claim to the crown of any number of other countries as they are all related which makes a mockery of the “our” part.

I don't think for a Canadian kid of 9 it means he is lacking in the brains department because he thought it a province of England, there's probably a bunch of English people who still think it is now!

Basically it's North Britain.

Is all fairness it's one of the only countries that has a country within a country a lot of people just call it Great Britain or the United Kingdom United States we have separate States and Canada that have providence's

Most of the world is not taught about Scotland since it's so unimportant

@notformebeaky Government invests by injecting money and support into the industry on a promotional level. I'd avoid the use of expletives and capital letters. Mirroring the tabloid rags, the very place people should sway away from when it comes to statistics.

James Clerk Maxwell : He produced a set of equations, known as 'Maxwell's Equations' that explain the properties of magnetic and electric fields and help show that light is an electromagnetic wave. He also calculated the speed of light. He inspired Albert Einstien, Scientists from around the world visit is grave each year to pay homage. In his day he was 30 years ahead of any other scientist, nobody had any idea what he was talking about because he was so far ahead of them all. Oh he produced the worlds first colour photo due to his work in creating the colour spectrum. R.I.P James Clerk Maxwell. The scientists scientist.

Look most of us could rattle off 10 inventions the Scots created just off the top of our heads but the better thing is what is the funniest and I think we still win that with the invention of the pink bathtub .... Fūçk knows why or how but we have been creating Shït bathrooms since lol

John Napier he came up with logs and algorithms, I’m a mathematician so that’s why I mentioned him.

James watt as well! David Livingstone married ma great great great great grannie Mary Moffat.

Exactly. Why do most Americans and Canadians have a problem pronouncing Edinburgh?

Revolver it’s probably because there is an Edinboro in America.

@@SohailJafar1 it will likely be named after Edinburgh so the change in pronunciation should be null and void it's said the same Ehh-din-Bra which is what most Scots say, then you have Ehh-din-Buh-rah for Abit of spice to the dialect lol. The only thing you'd come across a Scottish word with boro in it is possibly a rare last name or what a rabbit lives in lol

a man who sued god I called in Ehh- din-burah also. It’s the correct way

@@SohailJafar1 it's not specifically the correct way both are widely used here and most actually use both interchangeably

Bet you dont live here.

Yeah that would mean my school is older than Scotland

Dig of the dump no it’s got 2 legs and one is longer than the other for running along the side of hills

@@rossdodds866 That's right. The best way to catch a Wild Haggis is to make it turn back the other way, so it rolls down the hill. You need a second person with a burlap sack to catch it, because it has very sharp teeth.

Oliver 2000 football was invented in England.. “passing” in football was developed here..

Modern Woodsman according to Wikipedia the first rules were codified in Cambridge . The game is pretty British as in people from all over Britain were influential and involved in its development. Even it’s early days people from Scotland were involved in England with setting up the FA etc etc and vice versa. First international was Scotland England instigated by CW Alcock who created the FA cup

Modern Woodsman I was replying to an earlier post that claimed that football was invented in Scotland. Ball games like football existed all over the world. Football as we recognise it today was pretty much invented in England

Jayanta Chakraborty No, It's Southern England (the Lannisters) vs Northern England (The Starks). Scotland is comparable to the freefolk.

The very fact you have compared Scotland vs England to a TV show is so insulting to me (as a Scot who as studied the history for a long time) it beggars belief. Oh. By the way. Outlander is fucking chic lit fiction as well before you get all misty eyed about that shit too.
