Indyhawk, Have I missed something? What English tyranny do the Scottish currently suffer from? This is a genuine question, because I have lived in a variety of parts all over the UK for the last 45 years and are completely unaware of this tyranny. Please educate me.

Player Elf Counsel, Do you mean Walter Scott's "Marmion" (subtitle Flodden Field). it sounds like John McCrae's "In Flanders Field", about the W.W.1 poppies.

Fifi Sam, Estimates say up to 14,000 Scots but only 2,000 English. The oldest war memorial in the UK is a window in Middleton parish church ( near Manchester) and names the local archers and their priest.

Eeore, They had a lot of dark days - they only ever won once against the English, At Bannockburn. However there were so many mercenaries on each side that Flodden wasn't a straight England/Scotland battle.
