Scottish immigrant population

I think the reason is also relatively simple, that is, you can make a fortune by following the previous empire of "the sun never sets", when the whole world was a British colony. Although Britain is strong now, it can be said that everything has plummeted compared with before. Of course, Scotland doesn't want to get rich on its own.

For Scotland, it is entirely possible that they will be better developed by Britain. And you can also enjoy British subsidies and bonuses. So Britain is naturally willing to follow Scotland at this time. This is a very simple truth. But after World War II, Britain was also weakened and in a state of self-protection. Not only did it lose most of its colonies, but it became a second-rate country almost overnight, and its own development was very slow.

Not only that, Britain also faces competition from France and Germany. Because of this, life in Britain is very difficult, even worse than colonial India at that time. At this time, Scotland wants to maximize its own interests, because Scotland not only has its own perfect industry, but also has rich tourism resources and oil resources. Especially in oil, it is a big tax collector, but now most of the proceeds from oil have been taken away by Britain, which makes Scotland very dissatisfied.

Scotland itself has calculated that if it only possesses oil resources, its per capita GDP will soon become one of the best in the West, even higher than that of the United States and much higher than that of England. Therefore, after the decline of Britain, Scotland, which has no interests, naturally does not want to continue to be an Englishman. It is much more practical to become a Scot and make a fortune on its own, so this reason is very realistic.
