And? I’m not saying Scotland had it just as bad as Ireland. They didn’t. But Scotland did have unwilling collaborators and victims.

Scotland is a willing partner in crime. It is not a victim.

Before we go any further, what point is it that you’re trying to make, actually? Is it your contention that people should hate Scotland now, in this day and age, because of past colonialism?

Why are you talking of things as “past colonialism” as if the glorified USian provinces aren’t engaging in colonialism today?

My point is that Scotland and Wales are not some victims of England. Relevant polities are very much willing to engage in all the same atrocities.
