In a YouGov survey in March 2020 which I’ve only just spotted, I was struck by the fact that 27% of the Scottish sample (150) remembered studying the Tudors – Henry 8th and Elisabeth 1st!
This is English history, all taking place before the Union. If you insisted on studying kings and queens, there were some colourful Stuart monarchs, only slightly less psychopathic than Enery, you might have enjoyed.
I’m hoping that the 27% were older respondents, but I remember, as recently as the early 2000’s, being asked for help in teaching about the Tudors by a student about to start in a Cumnock school and, in a research project, discovering that the history department in Barra was teaching about the campaigns of Malborough!
The survey also reveals that 8% of the Scots remembered being taught about the ‘English Reformation!’

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Both the BBC Scotland, and the Heralds Westminster correspondents referred to “parliament being shut down, the last time being 700 years ago”.
This’ll be the parliament that was supposedly dissolved at the time of Union, but is constantly referred to as the “thousand years of parliamentary democracy” parliament.
Reese-Mogg was a little bit more subtle , talking about the parliament of “our country”.
We all should be aware of the country ( and parliament) they refer to is England, or “Greater England” as Cameron’s legal experts put it—-Scotland being “extinguished”..

Part of the problem in schools is that many teachers of history did not study any Scottish history at University and know little about it. Several of my acquaintance , were also strong Labour supporters and were ideologically opposed to it being taught because it would foster interest in independence. Several also considered it to be ‘inferior’ to British/English history.
There is a similar situation with regard to the teaching of Scottish literature in secondary schools.
