..., who was executed for treason on 23 August, 1305, Scotland the Brave bravely laid down her arms and resigned herself to being under the English crown for another 701 years, 19 days and counting...
national highlights during these seven centuries:
Invention of haggis. The world mourns.
The Proclaimers sing 500 miles. The world rejoices.
Avid complaining leads the English taxpayer to build Scotland a ludicrous parliament building, over-priced and over-schedule... One onelooker was heard to say:'That'll learn ye for Battle o' Falkirk, ye sasanach nufters!'.
So, 700 years well-spent, anyway.

Robert Bruce won Scottish independence again in 1314 at Bannockburn.
And Scotland was never again subjugated. Unification of Scotland and England occurred in 1707 over 100 years after the King of Scotland, James VI was placed upon the English throne.

"It's SH!TE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low, the scum of the f***ing earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, I don't. They're just w@nkers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by w@nkers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete @rseholes. It's a sh!te state of affairs to be in, Tommy! And all the fresh air in the world won't make any f***ing difference!"
By accomplished and probably most famous Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh. Who lives in:
...Ireland.
And according to whose name seems to wish to insist he is actually:
...Welsh. 😉
Not too much going in auld Scotland's favour there, then. 😞

2. Irvine Welsh is hardly Scotland's most famous novelist. Ever heard of Sir Walter Scott, doofus? Not to mention Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Aruthur Conan Doyle
3. The list of famous Scots is so long and impressive that it doesn't even need to be mentioned, but here are a couple:
Adam Smith
James Watt
Andrew Carnegie
Alexander Graham Bell
Robert Burns
Sir Alexander Fleming
David Hume
Mungo Park
John Knox
Allan Pinkerton
And the next time you're riding the bus home from your job as a garbage collector, you may want to thank a couple of Scots for making the trip more comfortable:
John Boyd Dunlap and John McAdam.
Final thought: The real James Bond, Sean Connery, was born in Edinburgh
