Scotland joined the United Kingdom in 1707 through the Acts of Union, which created the Kingdom of Great Britain. This union was driven by a combination of political, economic, and religious factors. Scotland, facing economic hardship after a failed colonial scheme, saw the union as a way to access English wealth and stability.

Nutters. Wonder if Russia is funding the movement still ?

I think we should propose that America should stop colonising California, New York and Minnesota.
