A Scotsman. Essentially   speaking, one of the 'foundling' countries of the 'Union of Great Britain',also known as the 'United Kingdom'or simply 'UK',Scotland is currently (2021) seriously reflecting the withdrawal from the 'Union of Great Britain'and reclaiming the statute of an Independent Nation.

You can't tell me that Europe isn't infinitely better than a small, lost island, full of arrogant people who insist that everybody else must bow to them, but who they don't really need. Pride & Arrogance, no Prejudice. That's English. The majority of Empire citizens nowadays have a skin colou
