	Independence: Scotland as a Viable Nation State
		Though criminal, many might have the capacity to loyally serve a Scottish government.
		The monarchy is usually seen as a "symbol of Britishness," and tends to be used to "promote the British state." However, it is "also a symbol of the Commonwealth," which is a grouping of former British colonies now independent of Britain, but still wishing to maintain its monarchy as their own.
		Independence has been shown to be an impractical option for Scotland, not in the sense that it is impossible to conceive, or that it could not work, but in that it seems extremely unlikely to be an achievable goal at this time.

	info: Constitutional_monarchy
		Though many of Europe's past and present leftist parties contain anti-monarchy factions, to date few have openly declared a preference for flat-out monarchial abolition, and instead use their powers to curtail and reform alleged 'un-democratic' or 'prejudiced' elements of the monarchy.
		For example, in recent years the age-old tradition of 'males first' order of succession to the throne has been abolished in some European constitutional monarchies, allowing for eldest daughters to assume the throne before their brothers.
		For example, in many constitutional monarchies the monarch's birthday is a national holiday, and an event marked with public patriotic events and parties.

		The Scottish Enlightenment is not only breaking through the windows of 10 Downing Street but is shining on the former Warsaw Pact states who adopt a low-tax, small-government agenda.
		Both countries produced an Enlightenment which went on to shape different parts of the world, yet the French Revolution is internationally celebrated and the Scottish intellectual revolution has been virtually forgotten.
		All this in spite of the fact that the French Revolution was an utter failure, leading to a campaign of mass murder, an imperial despotism and, eventually, the restoration of the monarchy.

		With the approval and financial backing of the Scottish gentry, he marched down from Scotland with his purged and disciplined army, and declared for a free Parliament elected on the old franchise, to the applause of the bourgeoisie and gentry.

		The English monarchy have no part in the future we envision, so they've got to go, and next year through direct action and the creation of a broad-based alliance we will register our opposition to the continued existence of the Royal family - in Wales or anywhere else for that matter.
		In this time the monarchy has presided over the almost complete theft of our land, the destruction of our manufacturing base, and the eradication of our language and culture from most of our country.

	History of Scotland - Union of the Crowns through Culloden
		The calamitous and war-torn years of 17th and 18th century Scottish history can be divided into two broad movements: the religious wars between the Covenanters and the English crown (1638-1689) and the Jacobite risings to restore the Stuart dynasty (1690-1746) which culminated in the tragic battle of Culloden.
