Well it’s been a lot of years since I was at school but I don’t ever remember being taught anything about Bonnie Prince Charlie etc.. History lessons about Scotland seemed to concentrate more on people like Adam Smith the economist who wrote the Wealth of Nations and Robert Owen in New Lanark who ran his mill in an enlightened way compared to others at the time. The focus was more on the Industrial Revolution onwards and you are right, I remember little or nothing beyond mention of the Boston Tea Party being taught about the American Revolution. There was something about General Wolfe and Quebec but this was earlier and nothing to do with the revolution.
From a lowland Scottish viewpoint, Charlie and the Jacobites were not welcomed with open arms. Thousands of Scots had died in the previous century defending their religious beliefs against the forces of James II, Charlie’s grandfather, and they weren’t about to support a return to those times known as the “killing times”.
Billy Connolly aptly described Prince Charlie as "an effeminate, Itallian dwarf backed by hairy a***d Highlanders on Clydesdales" and that he could only speak Italian. Here is a humorous take on the subject by the late Rikki Fulton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6hThhyAe94 - which probably reflects how many Scots regard Charlie.
