For a little while. Then England stopped playing around and conquered the hell out of Scotland.

@omegamcflee Yeah, it did. Under a guy called Oliver Cromwell. Then, after the monarchy was restored and the Stuarts were kicked out, the Scotts tried to put a king they thought would favor Scotland over England on the throne three times, but failed miserably. Culloden sealed Scotland's fate as being part of Great Britain.

A cameraman pointed this out. Gibson said it would be troublesome, to which the cameraman said "Aye, that's what the English thought."

@alexanderatticus647 Not entirely true. The Confederates lost the Civil War, but then wrote a bunch of "Lost Cause" crap to make themselves look good; during the Cold War, we used bought into the "clean" Wehrmacht nonsense and bashed the Red Army.

@dothrakidani358 Many of the Highland clans were banished to America, and their descendants would fight the British during the War of American Independence.

The Scots agreed and kept defacing it until it was removed.

@MegaJambo22 Independent is a strong word because, like with the Romans after Teutoburg, the English could--and did--snipe at them rather successfully over the centuries, such as the disaster at Flodden, the Rough Wooing, Cromwell's campaigns, etc.

@troystaunton254 The English Civil War ended in the 1650s. Culloden took place in 1746. The goal of the Scots was to install a Catholic king on the British throne. They failed, and the Highlander culture was brutally smashed.
