Scotland has a population of 6 million.
Last month the London govt said they are going to take £ 10 billion extra from Scotlands oil revenues.
How much have they stolen from every man, woman and child in Scotland ?
Добро пожаловать !

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]
The majority of people who were forcibly evicted, were done so by agents of the Marquess of Stafford. Notoriously in Strathnavar and the strath of Kildonan.These agents were usually employed from outside the Highlands and yes, they were Scottish.
With the enforced destruction of clan structure a few chiefs ( to their shame ) evicted their clansmen, most notably the MacDonald in Skye and MacDonnel of Glengarry.
Not wishing to be a garmmar nazi but.......these crimes were perpetrated, it is the Westminister Government which perpetuated the clearance ( battle of the braes, Lord Brocket, men of knoydart etc ).
Interesting that the population of the Highlands is only now reaching the levels it was pre-clearances.

It was laws made in London after the '45 Rebellion that eventually led to the clearances.
Yes, some were Scots but some of the worst were imposed landlords such as the Duke of Stafford.

304 is mentioned above but there were a few other Polish squadrons and they dont seem to get as much recognition.

Thanks delph -
I have become a bit scunnered with further education.
Education is such big business in Scotland, a lot of the courses ( products ) being churned out with little support or direction from the Uni.
S'ppose its the same throughout Eu now.

History / Question on Poland's szlachta clan admission [26]
The clan structure in Scotland had regional variations - some clans in the west highlands claimed direct descendancy from Norse or Celtic kings, others, mainly lowland clans were formed by warlords.
Clan members paid rent to the chief ( landowner )and in return for the benefits and security of being in the clan,they were loyal to the cause of the clan when the Crann Tara was sent round.
Some smaller clans ( septs ) were had allegiances with larger clans for political reasons.
The clan tartans and badges were mostly a 19th century invention.
Having a Scottish surname gives a sense of belonging and kinship.
Dont know how this compares to Polish clan system.

News / Green electricity in Poland [41]
Its a bit lacking in ambition - By 2020, Poland is expected to have a total installed capacity of up to 12,500 MW,
In ten years Poland hopes to get up to 12,500 M(Million)Watts.
Today Scotland produces 1.5 G(BILLION)W of wind power.
Germany produces 25 GW of wind power.
I am not a big fan of wind power onshore, it completely spoils the countryside and is hazardous to wildlife. Not to mention the powerlines needed to transport the electric generated. Much better to have tidal power where possible.
