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?

That indeed was the case I left school illiterate of Scottish history.

I never did history at standard grade or higher but we did do a bit on Culloden, the Highland Clearances etc in 1st and 2nd year.

I keep meaning to visit the Culloden battlefield and visitors centre.

For information on the clearances I recommend Neil Oliver who has a firm grasp on the subject.
