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.
Which league do they play in?

That indeed was the case I left school illiterate of Scottish history.
We should be immensely proud of what Britain has achieved around the world. The good FAR outweighs the bad.

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.

If it wasn't for the great deeds and civilising influence of Britain, the world would be a far worse place.
I don't think you can say the same for Jimmy Saville.
