Quick point: @ Bruce - just to be clear - we didn't become the United Kingdom because England invaded and conquered Scotland. The king of Scotland inherited the English throne and united the two crowns under him.
The whole 'British' project - the empire building, the cultural and economic explosion was all led by the Scottish. We'd never have been the power house we were without the Scottish at the fore. They led all of it. They were the mainstay of the army, the colonial expeditionaries, the cultural rennaisance, all of it. Left purely to the English, Welsh and Irish we'd have been nothing.
