Back n the 60s I knew nothing about Scottish history .

Nothing about William Wallace.
Nothing about Robert the Bruce  etc etc etc.

Probably because schools only taught history from the British point of view. I mean we are the good guys, are we?

Are we?

Scotland has played a big part in British history.

I know.

I'd like us to own our history, come to terms with it then at least we can move on from thinking that the British Empire is still a thing.

Lots of Nats bang on about the British Empire like it was the English Empire.
All to do with anglophobia.

Is it aye?

I know what Scotland was/is part of. I don't want to be a part of that.

And what’s that?
Perfidious Albion.
