I agree. The Scots are still not independent, and I doubt that full independence will really be achieved at any point in the future. Just from the standpoint of population and military power alone, England holds the upper hand and will continue to hold the upper hand should any conflict arise. And I mean this not just in the case of Scotland, but all of the Celtic peoples as well. The English outnumber the Celts combined, and the Celts would be hard-pressed to stand victorious against the English. And furthermore, why is the use of Gaelic and Welsh on the wane with all three of them! Isn't language also a means by which national and ethnic identity is defined! If the English language is spoken by the majority with all three peoples, doesn't that show where matters stand within the populace when it comes to separation and/or independence And in regards to Ireland, part of it is still under English hegemony due to ethnic, national and sectarian politics, and who knows if full separation and/or independence will occur and take place!

Wow. As a Turk, I had heard of the Scotland-England rivalry, but I did not know it was this competitive. I thought it was based more on one-sided English superiority. I congratulate the Scots for their honorable struggle.

Totally misnamed as Wars of Independence.
These were wars against an invader of an ALREADY INDEPENDENT nation. An older nation.
