Wow... it is so super obvious that the 2nd soldier from the left in the front rank is a woman. Sorry, nerd here on the history of women in the military. Just saying...
ah, the west end of East Lothian. I know that's round about where the battle took place, but as soon as I saw the map of the Tranent, Prestonpans, Cockenzie etc. area I just thought of Cockenzie power station with its two massive chimneys clearly visible from the train & the A1, then I thought of the Gothenburg pub (& the beer). just a tad unrelated, but I thought you might appreciate it.
Hey, steady on! I'm British as well as Scots. And so were both sides in this conflict, so your comment makes no sense. (Maybe you should see it as Rome versus London). Britain is just a name for an island, thought up by a Scotsman, James VI. It's good to know what happened in the past to understand how it shaped our identities and attitudes today, but it's pointless to remain trapped as a victim of history.
@brawladdie1 aye eat yur words noo eh mate lol this battle is still gone strong, check lastweeks election results n learn how revelution has begun in scotland only its a political one, this is the end of the uk, scotland has turned gold with Nationalism, n if you look at the map youl see the only unionist voters are those inbread borders scots that hink theyr english anywie, much like the scots regiments of the british army that faught against charlie they wer aw borders regiments.. SOAR ALBA
@TamTheToff So we go from a one-party Scotland to ... a one-party Scotland - and that's progress? Battle, revolution. Why don't you throw in a bloodbath just for good measure? Will anyone who opposes the SNP after independence be labelled 'an enemy of the people'? I hope you still feel the same way once Sterling is withdrawn and we have to adopt the euro if we want to join the EU. Just make sure to book all your future holidays in either Iceland, Ireland, Portugal or Greece.
@brawladdie1 u sound over submerged in unionist propaganda, are yi a borders man by any chance lol.. SNP are not the fascists mate the british gov are, racist and dominant to milk the shit oot of small nations and races for self benefit, like nazis nd adolf himself said "tell a lie long enough folk start ti believe it" that lies been told ever synce the 45 rebellion.. the lie that we need them chukle chukle, heres a wee bit homework away n research how much scotland contributes to sterling
@TamTheToff As I see it, the majority of Scots have never enjoyed being second-class citizens in the Union (but many of us do very well out of it). Would independence change that? Or would we still be dominated by our big southern neighbour, yet have no influence? Meantime, the SNP will deliver material prosperity by developing Scotland faster than ever before, e.g. covering it with wind farms. I want Scotland to remain under-developed, not destroyed. I want Scotland to remain Scotland.
@brawladdie1 I like the idea of an independent Scotland, not out of any hatred for the English, but to a large extent because of a dislike of faraway governments telling powerless individuals what to do. That said I'm not actually sure that the type of Scotland (a tolerant, prosperous 1 where personal liberties are respected, but governments acknowledge the need to look after its citizens) I would like to see will ever really exist, regardless of what political party is in power & regardless of
@brawladdie1 whether its independent or not. Maybe that's because I'm a wishy-washy social liberal. Drat. Why can't I have a nice straightforward position like nationalism or socialism. Then I would always be sure of my opinions & I think I'd be a lot happier. Ah, well.
@robsargent4 As long as you don't combine nationalism and socialism at the same time, Rob! I think the SNP has a natural appeal in promising a fresh start, but I think most utopian dreams end in tears. Like you, my gut feeling is that an independent Scotland will not be tolerant (we don't have a good historical record on that point) nor prosperous, unless we are turned into a sheikdom. I foresee the SNP welcoming Chinese investors with open arms and copying the new imperialism in Africa.
