‘By the way, since you are a Scotsman, why the hell are you sticking up for the English?? Remember Culloden??’

Thank you for proving my point that you are utterly clueless about Britain and British history.

1—Britain/the UK/Great Britain and England are NOT the same thing. Got that?. Britain/UK/GB is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Nor is Scotland part of England.

That is why, as a Scotsman, I am BOTH Scottish and British.

2—Culloden?. You mean the famous battle which was NEVER a Scottish-English battle?. But was a battle between pro-Jacobite Highlanders and anti-Jacobite forces, which included Scottish, English, Irish, Welsh forces?. Even Highlanders opposed to the Jacobites. The front ranks of the redcoated British forces at Culloden were almost entirely Scottish regiments.

Both sides of my own family (one Highland, one Lowland) wore those red coats and fought AGAINST the Jacobites. And did so proudly.

“1—Britain/the UK/Great Britain and England are NOT the same thing. Got that?. Britain/UK/GB is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Nor is Scotland part of England.”

Got that. Hence my inquiry.

“That is why, as a Scotsman, I am BOTH Scottish and British.”

You’re British because the Brits forced themselves upon you, not once, but many times. Read about Edward Longshanks.

“Both sides of my own family (one Highland, one Lowland) wore those red coats and fought AGAINST the Jacobites. And did so proudly.”

And THAT explains EVERYTHING!!!! I support the Jacobites AGAINST the Hanoverian intruders!! I SEE what kind of Scotsman YOU are!!!
