A History of Scotland - S02E02 - Lets Pretend - Part 5/6

BBC Scotland Documentary - Bitterly divided by politics and religion for centuries, this is the infamous story of how Scotland and England came together in 1707 to form Great Britain. Over time the Union matured into one of the longest in European history, but it very nearly ended in divorce.
Exploiting the Union's unpopularity, the exiled Stuarts staged several comebacks, selling themselves as a credible and liberal alternative to the Hanoverian regime. Neil Oliver reveals just how close they came to succeeding.

Throughout history there has always been a repeated phrase - if only... . Unfortunately, it almost always ends badly when the - if only - phrase is used. Only with hindsight can we speculate on what might and in many cases what should have been. We need 100% independence from the English parliament so we can manage our own affairs once again and show the world what we are really capable of. I only wish that it happens in my lifetime.

I was going to suggest Neil Oliver and the other actors in this series try out for a movie that is supposed to film parts in Scotland.It is from a book series called Outlander and starts in England and Scotland at the Culloden time period.
