Please don’t ad hominum me.
You continue to make my point. Leaders of ENGLISH imperial history is replete with numbers of Scots as administrators and military leaders.
The ‘empire’ also used Indian military for years.
Have you considered the Orange had to rely on English support due to minority status in Ireland?

Scots have also formed a disproportionate number of Prime Ministers and cabinet members over the years, and it has been a running joke for a long time about the higher civil service being dominated by Scots. Scots havent been oppressed by Britain, they have RUN Britain. Hell, even now tgey have prevented us from leaving the EU and their remoaner MPs have stopped us leaving. Add to this the fact they receive more from the uk public purse than they contribute (even with oil revenues) and they are more like dead weight around England’s neck. Good riddance to them if they go so that England can be an actual sovereign nation governed by its own people, but they probably won’t. They have done too well out of the Union over the years and they know it, which is why they rejected independence.
