| Quote: | To my recollection, no purely Scottish Monarch has claimed to be other than the Monarch of the Scots since the days of Bruce. Even Mary was known as Queen of Scots. The Scottish Monarchs were rulers of the people, not the land.
The title 'Of Scotland' has been placed on Monarchs of Scotland by outside agencies not by the Monarchs themselves.
It is said that no Scot, King or otherwise ever truly owns any part of Scotland other than the six feet he is buried in.
Nor has the land of Scotland ever been owned by any Monarch |
I am quite young - and you may feel my opion here does not count - but in my research it has been stated that the Head-of-state in the kingdom of scotland had the style and titles of His/Her Grace, Name, #, King/Queen of Scots, High King/Queen of Scotland. Whether both titles were used at the same time his unsure, but is possible. As for the style of His/Her Grace (HG) in the days of the Scottish Kingdom, before the Union, while the King/Queen of England and other soveriegn states used His/Her Majesty (HM) HG was either equal to or greater than Majesty, meaning the King/Queen of Scots was infact More Powerful and respected than other such Kings/Queens - I bring this up because within the UK the style HG is reserved for non-royal Dukes/Duchesses, which demotes the style from it's once powerful state. Even the King Henry VIII used the style HG (aswellas HM).
This is only my opion and understanding by my research - The Monarch was ruler of the people as King/Queen of Scots - the term High King/Queen of Scotland may only have been used when Scotland had a divided Kingdom.
