@MutantHippie Culloden was not actually a battle between Scotland and England. There were Scots and English on both sides. But the authorities in London hijacked the victory and portrayed it as beating the rebellious Scots.”

So in other words - there were more Scots fighting for “England” than for “Scotland.” This fits with other posts, on the nature of the allegiances in the American “War of Independence.”

@FreeAlbaSLM Oh please do your homework, their were more scots at that battle than there were English. English and Scots fought on both sides.
According to Prof Ted Cowan, professor of Scottish history at Glasgow University, Culloden is “mistakenly” described as a battle between England and Scotland. In fact, there were more Scots fighting for the Government than for the Jacobite rebellion.
