Heres an uncompromising and entertaining article from the Glasgow-born historian Niall Fergusson, which appeared in the Daily Telegraph on referendum day 18-9-14. He points out that, far from being a peaceful land, Scotland has long had a history of internal division. The Union of the Parliaments in 1707 turned Scotlanistan into the Silicon Valley of 18th-century Europe, with Glasgow University as Stanford. The Union was a success partly because it sublimated these bitter Scottish divisions in a larger United Kingdom, while at the same time launching the country on an extraordinary economic boom that only really ran out of steam in the Sixties. telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scottish-independence/11102126/Scottish-referendum-Alone-Scotland-will-go-back-to-being-a-failed-state.html ------------- Follow us at ==> British Together
