Blackleaf, Sorry but you are much mistaken.
Elizabeth Bowes- Lyon was born in London on the 4th August 1900. She was the daughter of Claude George Bowes Lyons, 14th Earl of Strathmore who was also born in London and Nina Cavendish-Bentinck, also born in London which makes her a pretty thoroughbred English lady and not in the least Scottish.
The only bit of claim to Scottishness is through the title of her father and his father and that is the Strathmore title. Definately NOT a Scottish Queen.
As far as Scotland goes, I think you will find that the English education system teaches very little that is true about Scotland, merely the distorted beliefs of English academics and Historians who even alter their own English history.
You have a lot to learn about this land I think Blackleaf, , but you won't learn it from English books.

My, My, Blackleaf, aren't you just soooo rude.
If a person is born in England to English born parents who were also born of English parents, then pardon me but I think that makes the person English, not Scottish.
Also I am well aware of the lineage of the present ruling house, (unfortumately.)
Perhaps it is yourself who is spouting the rubbish!

Blackleaf darlin' dontcha know that after Culloden many an ENGLISH man was given scottish titles?? So just because an english person was titled in this way does NOT mean that they are SCOTTISH! IE The Duke of Sutherland that viper for example.

Also the true and full account of scottish History was glossed over,leaving out the unsavory bits always making Scotland appear as an after thought and only in the context of how it affected England,Thats why it is so important that the thousand or whatever years of Gaelic history should be brought to the light as they have recorded it NOW before the language dies out.

I went to school overseas at a girls boarding school and ALL apart from four of the teachers were English. And I am ashamed to admit this (its first airing here) but I NEVER heard about William wallace while at school but as for English Monarchs and battles etc,I got PLENTY of that!Scotland only got a mentioned when they were causing the english some bother. Thats why today, I personally have made a complete turn about,probably a little TOO much I'll admit, but once bitten.....

Today the results of those "unsavory" facts are some thirty million strong folks of Gaelic heritage from the Scottish Diaspora, alive and well today and worse, pissed off! And even if only 10% are ,that still leaves three million.

Picture that group returning to Scotland today, which is not impossable, they would run yer arses outta town baby!

BUT according tae yew, an English person born to English parents in England is Scottish?????? So in other words say a person born in Scotland of scottish parents could be what, say Pakastani? Humnnnnnnn???

Then you know what! That would explain the Scots love of Kourma curry n' chips! Viola`c`est bon, non? Now we shall all be 'appy,'appy!! We can all come together as wan. GROUP HUG! GROUP HUG clown

Yes I agree, if the parents were Scottish, but in no way can someone born in England of English parents and English grandparents be called Scottish as Blackleaf seems to think.

Members of the English Civil War Society took part in their annual march and parade along The Mall and Whitehall in London on Sunday. They were dressed up as Cavaliers (Royalists, the soldiers who fought for the King during the English Civil War against Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarians/Roundheads) in honour of King Charles I. Whitehall is the place where King Charles I was beheaded in 1649.

On Sunday the King's Army from the English Civil War Society held their annual march and parade along The Mall and Whitehall
-------------------

The march is in commemoration of King Charles I, who was executed on Jan 30 1649 after Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarians (Roundheads) won the Civil War
------------------

Each January thousands of spectators brave the weather to follow the march and watch the service and parade that follow
----------------

The society says many letters arrive after each parade expressing interest in the organisation, "appreciation of the spectacle, or commenting on the history"
---------------

The parade passes the site of the scaffold where the King last stood
------------

The march has been held every year for the past two decades
