It's as simple as this Scotland is better than England and anyone who argues otherwise is just wrong. Fact. End of conversation.

People should know when they’re conquered.

Free Scotland. Fuuu England
As a Chinese, so much of the incooperation and conflict in such a narrow island country to me is mind-blowing and not understandable.
Scotland is also all the islands above the main continent.🏴
Scotland has.been ruled by Islam for several years now. First Humza Useless and now Anus Sarwar. Scotland has been conquered by two muslims. Only two. Pathetic.
Don’t you mean the Angevin empire
I don't think the Anglo Saxons ever saw Scotland as a "province to be crushed".
In 1605, with the death of Queen Elizabeth 1 the last of the Tudors, King James the sixth of Scotland became King James the first of England – so effectively the Scots became overlords of the English!
This was a uniting of two kingdoms as even today, when the UK's sovereign crosses the border they changed name and religion – being Catholic north of the border and Protestant South of it.
As late as the 1740s, the Scots invaded the Northern half of England, the highlanders dreamed of putting their own monarch on the thrown of the entire United Kingdom, since the English had imported a Dutch king William of Orange because the lineage of suitable protestants had dried up.
To this day the Scots have a resentment towards the English.
The final military defeat of the highlander at Collunden in 1745 was a really not an England versus Scotland battle.
There were Scottish regiments who fought alongside Welsh, English and Irish regiment's against the highlanders.
The highland rebellion could perhaps be characterised as an 'unruly province' since the Scottish kingdom had been given by the conflict between protestant and Catholic Scots. It was the Highlands where contact with the greater Empire of the UK was less cemented.
The Scots in the lowlands were a powerhouse of the British enterprise. They were renowned for their scholarship and ingenuity and we're full throated supporters and members of the British Empire.
