The act of union was passed against the will of the Scottish people who rioted when news of this act was made public.
Apart from the treacherous Scottish nobles who sold their votes for money and empty promises and sold their country in the process, who gained most from the Union? Certainly not the Scots who are still suffering as a result of this destruction of our nation as an idividual country.

My apologies. I have not yet read every post on every thread so missed that one.
You could have pointed that out ot me more politely though. Do you have an attitude problem?

Can you give me an example of this suffering?

Well sure Anthropos, but not going to far back or into history, does the name Margaret Thatcher mean aything to you. The woman caused more suffering in Scotland and did more to bring this country to it's knees than anyone else in living memory.
