30. Sporting Scotland

The biggest game is the highly emotional OLD
FIRM derby between Glagow Celtic & Glasgow

31. What about Independence?


This autumn, the people of Scotland will vote on
whether the nation should become an independent
country. This vote will take place on Thursday 18
September 2014.
The question to be asked in the referendum will be
"Should Scotland be an independent
country?"

32. What are the origins?

After many years of fighting with England, its larger aggressive
neighbour, the origins of The United Kingdom and Ireland may be
surprising.

The Union of the Crowns was the accession of James VI, King of
Scots, to the thrones of England and Ireland, and the consequential
unification for some purposes of the three realms under a single
monarch, in March 1603.

1707 A century later, the flow of trade brought the English and
Scottish parliaments together under the 1707 Act of Union - creating
the new state of Great Britain.

33. So why?

There is a lot of debate as to why there should be a
vote, with many ´no´ campaigners claiming that
because Scotland is in Europe the reasons are not
very important whereas the ´yes´ campaigners are
claiming that a yes vote will lead to a fairer political
balance.

34. What about Independence?

For the more romantically-minded, this year is also
the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn,
which saw the English army defeated by the forces
of King of Scots Robert the Bruce, during the wars
of independence.
