You must direct that question to the Scots who turned out in such numbers in the '15 and the '45. Not to mention the great number who followed their King into exile. The Mareschal might be a good place to start.
 
The King/Monarch issue aside then, do you think Scotland would have a second crack at building an empire?
I'm in two minds over this one, I can see the Scottish nobility and business moguls watching England's empire with envious eyes.

On the other hand there's the old adage, once bitten twice shy. :rolleyes:
 
Regarding the Highland Clearances and their effect on colonial settlement, I don't recall the source, but I read awhile ago that the vast majority of Americans of Scottish ancestry are of Lowland, not Highland, origin, and thus weren't actually affected by the Clearances.

Please don't necromance threads. Start a new one and link in the old, but don't bump something that's over a year old.

To be honest, I don't see why this is a problem. Many message boards have the opposite policy - they encourage bringing up an existing thread rather than have multiple threads on the same topic.
