Regarding the point about Scotland, incidental to my argument supporting
British rule in Northern Ireland:

	The United Kingdom is "united" primarily because King James I
of England was first a king of Scotland, then ascended to the English
throne upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I.  In less than 100 years,
the present-day United Kingdom was politicaly established.  This King
James, in addition to being famous for chartering the King James edition
of the Bible, was also famous for establishing the Ulster plantation on
the island of Ireland.  This Ulster colony, while one of only many
plantations on the island, was the only one which survived the test of
time, giving rise to present day Northern Ireland.
