How is Culloden and Prince Charles looked on and taught in Scotland?

I've tried to stay away from this topic because I was sure it was going to get closed down at some point. It seems to have stayed fairly calm so I'm going to weigh in.

I was taught about The history of Scotland in School in Scotland. I KNOW that not everyone is. I was lucky. I went to school just as they were starting to bring Scottish history into the curriculum.
I was taught good, solid facts about Wallace, The Bruce and all of the Jacobite risings.
And it was fair handed. They were very careful to point out the truth of what happened and the facts of warfare in that time.
My dad had made a point of teaching me these things himself, thinking I wouldn't get taught them in school.
It was an eye opener for me to see the pupils who would argue the teachers blue in the face because their parents taught them 'It was all the ENGLISH.'

I am incredibly thankful that some schools in Scotland are beginning to address this nonsense once and for all.
It scared me the day I found out that my American wife knew more about Scottish history than any of her Scottish friends in her Scottish university.

So, to answer your question:
Yes, it is being taught in schools NOW but not all schools just yet. And Yes, it is taught fairly and factually.

Here's to more schools doing it.

That is good news, Arlen. I know the current Scottish government plan to encourage similar education but you were obviously at a school a bit ahead of its time.
