A Scot's view of how little Scots are taught of their own history

[ThistleDown]

But BB, those who were interviewed by the blogger were late middle-aged. In their early school years they had been taught about UK history (not Scottish). They know who Prince Charlie was, but nothing about the Jacobites. I think that was a point the blogger was making. The Scots are an exceptionally well-educated people, but their education has been focused on their Nation as just a part of the United Kingdom (read 'England', if you wish). Germany is a different case and not to be compared.
