Never heard of this. Any cites? It would be an interesting PoD, depending on what and how.In 1713, the House of Lords voted on dissolution of the Union between England and Scotland. It failed by four votes. How would history develop had the vote passed?
Except, without the Scots union, would the Irish one happen? I doubt it strongly. I think they'd come up with some other solution.Dissolving the political Union does not mean that the Personal Union is dissolved.
So the effects could be relatively small and then when the Irish Act of Union goes into effect around 1800, Scotland can be rolled back in again.

I assume you were also watching Neil Oliver's excellent "History of Scotland" on BBC2 last night? Really enjoying it so far.In 1713, the House of Lords voted on dissolution of the Union between England and Scotland. It failed by four votes. How would history develop had the vote passed?
