Scottish/Celtic history has always intrigued me. I love all the "Braveheart" crap but playing a less role in the movie is the fact that Scot noblemen were the most duplicitous bunch of land grabbers and would indeed and did more than once sell out Scotland for a title, land and/or money.
Seems that nut hasn't fallen too far from the tree.
In the US, those of us of Scottish ancestry were called "hillbillies" We ignore the political intrigue of our ancestors and stick more to the hard-headed, fighting, drinking and independence. When they settled in the SE US (mostly) it was for land and freedom and they had contend only with nature and indians. And when the Brits rolled around trying to tell them what-all they were going to do during the American Revolution.
