Despite Scotland's notable history of fighting for independence, the first King of both Scotland and England James I (VI in Scotland) advocated for one parliament for both countries despite being King of Scotland before taking the English throne. Scotland would eventually lose its power and not regain a real parliament of its own until 1999.
interesting
ReplyDeletePoor old James 1 was not the brightest light to ever come out of Scotland.
ReplyDeleteHe was referred to by later historians as "the wisest fool in Christendom".
However he did try hard and did keep his head attached to his body, so that is
a plus.

Such a great feeling - ha ha.
they should've thrown down the British rule last year too, but sadly they didn't
ReplyDeletethey got a pretty decent deal. The strength of the British pound and a considerable amount of autonomy that British parliament doesn't really affect them even though they have many seats in it.
