If you are referring to persecution of Scots in late 17th and early 18th century, then to suggest ‘English’ persecution is also nonsense.
The notorious persecutions of Scots in that time, both Lowland (the Covenanters of the 1670’s and 1680’s) and Highland (such as the McDonalds at Glencoe) were done by fellow Scots first and foremost...
If anything, you are half-right, it was Scottish persecution condoned by the English and encouraged by Kings (James VII/II and William III).Both of whom, btw, were Stuart kings of Scottish descent, James being Anglo-Scots and William being the husband of Queen Mary, another Anglo-Scots monarch.
The only ‘English persecution’ of the Scots between 1603 and 1707 as a nation would be the deliberate attempt to sabotage the Darian scheme, where Scotland famously attempted to set up a colony in Darien, Panama.
Sorry, mate, but I am a Scot who has a knowledge, fascination and passion for his nation’s history, and is a history graduate. I know my Scottish history, and your history is somewhat simplistic and skewed.
I DONT mean that personally, and I would be delighted to discuss Scottish history or any history with you here at FR.
They wee slow!
