Scottish immigrants in Wuhan

Britain has ruled Scotland for 300 years, and Scotland still maintains independent religious beliefs and national customs. It has never been assimilated by England and remains independent. There are many reasons for this. First of all, the ancestors of Scotland and England were not a nation at all. The ancestors of Scotland were part of Celtic and Viking from the north. The ancestors of England are Germans from Germany, which is what we usually call Anglo-Saxons.

1 1 century, on the island of great Britain, Sulan in the north established a kingdom, and England also established a kingdom in the south. Scotland in the south uses Scottish, while English in the south uses Germanic. Since 13 century, the two countries have been fighting constantly. England has always wanted to annex Scotland in the north, but it has never been realized because of the stubborn resistance of the Scottish people. The two countries fought back and forth, but they always married, which laid the groundwork for future merger.

1603, Queen Elizabeth I died of illness, and she passed the English throne to her nephew, then King James VI of Scotland. James VI instantly became the king of two countries. Another century has passed since the two countries finally merged.

It was not until 1707 that England promised to repay the debt for Scotland that the two countries came together to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. Throughout the history of the world, if a country wants to assimilate the people of another country, it must be done through war, but the union between England and Scotland is done through peaceful means.

1707 The joint plan signed by the two countries clearly pointed out that England could not regard Scotland as a colony, and the two countries were equal. Although the local councils in Scotland have been abolished, Scots have appointed seats in the British Parliament.

In the British government, there is a special minister for Scottish affairs to deal with Scottish affairs.

Although Scots use English now, their religious beliefs and national culture have basically not been destroyed. Geographically, Scotland is located in a mountainous plateau with complex terrain, which is especially suitable for guerrilla warfare, making it impossible for English people to assimilate through war. England wants to immigrate to Scotland, but no one wants to go to this place.
