And it was the heme of Oliver Cromwell who defeated the Scohts at Dunbah. Incorporated Scohtlan into his protectorate and transported the Scohts as slives to the colonies…..snigger snigger hyah hyah from the Tory benches.….Nouw, there’s an ohnswer to the West Lothian Question!….Hoh! Hoh! Donkey Bray from the benches.
I’ve typed Frazer’s words out for two reasons. I’t’s hard to make out what she’s saying in that accent and the sound of it might make you boak all over your keyboard.
Seriously though, a Tory MP thinks slavery can ever be a laughing matter? A Tory thinks the enslavement of Scots can be a laughing matter? Ah, come on, she was only joking. Where’s your sense of humour, Jock?
Aye, right, let’s have some jokes about the London dead after the Nazi bombing? More jokes about Royal paedophiles? Jokes about the Queen Mum’s….
Anyhow, Frazer, quite a ‘dusky maiden’ with perhaps non-Anglo-Saxon genes, worthy of being told to ‘go home’ by Nick Ferrari (?), reminds us:
1650
As many as 400 Scottish POWS captured in the Battles of Worcester and Dunbar were shipped to New England in the 1650s as temporary slaves to work in iron mills, saw mills and farms. The Great Migration of Puritans had ended, and the colonists badly needed workers. Across the sea, Oliver Cromwell’s new government had the costly and vexing task of managing thousands of Scottish POWs. One solution: deport them to New England, Virginia and Barbados. Some of the Scottish POWs sent to New England were sold as a group to work in the Saugus Iron Works or the saw mills of Berwick Maine. Others went to York as servants. Still others were sold individually.
1746
After the dust of battle had settled, out of a total of some 5,000 in the Prince’s army, it’s reported that 1200 died – including very many slaughtered as they lay on the battlefield. 50 escaped overseas and over 100 combatants and Jacobite supporters were later executed, and over 1100 transported to the West Indies to end their days in slavery.

The SG is responsible for education, so why the devil isn’t Scottish history being taught in our schools?

It is. Reading is also taught and is a useful skill to have if you wish to expand on what you are taught. Libraries are free.

A lot of Scots prisoners were marched to Durham after the Battle of Dunbar. Many died on the way and the rest in the jail at Durham where they were kept in dreadful conditions.

Residents on the Island of Raasay were sold into slavery for the plantations, for £3 a head. I know that the Macleods of Raasay backed the Jacobites during the rising in 1745, Culloden 1746 and the flight of Prince Charlie, whether it was retribution for the Jacobite support or it took place later during the height of the clearances I’ll need to find out the details, who kept the money, when was this exactly, etc.
