"Defiant. That what the Scots are. Amazing to me ? someone who chuckles at regional conflicts in the United States ? that there remains such animosity against the English. It's pervasive. From the jokes by bus drivers and pub owners, to a preference for money printed in the country, despite that fact that English pounds are equal value, the Scots are still pissed off that England stole their country...."

We don't chuckle at regional conflicts in the US. Animosity against a Nation that stripped us of our Culture and Langauge is rather fitting. A Nation that has slaughtred, raped, and butchred their way through the Scottish Nation is no friend of ours. The mass migration of English into Scottish towns and Scottish villages to me is a systematic modern genocide to breed the Scottish people out of existance. My bus driver actually is a very funny man, and pub owners are brilliant, where else will ye get a pint for £1:20 at the age of 13?. Actually we don't mind using English bank notes, ti is the English that refuse to accept Scottish bank notes. Of course we're pissed of.

"Scotland's monument to the national hero William Wallace. For a highly fictionalized account of his life rent the movie Braveheart, but don't underestimate the Scottish people's pride in this man, who, after trying to maintain Scotland's independence from English rule, was drawn and quartered in London, where they made further point by displaying the quarters in separate places around town..."

Actually, most people in Scotland do understand that Braveheart is at best a fictional tale. We learn the facts in a little place called school.
Yes, he was killed, they did try to set an example. What happened then? The Battle of Bannocklburn where we won the 1st Wars of Independence and then Longshanks son came up to try the same, and then what happened? We wont the 2nd War of Independence.
