Back in the late 1790’s the upper class of Scotland was persuaded to engage in the Darien Scheme which bankrupted them and Scotland. This led to the Act of Union of 1707. It is very complicated and messy. If any complain that it was the fault of the English, they are probably not aware that the King William III monarch at that time (Queen Mary died in 1794) was Dutch. Darien is now a province of Panama, the major tax haven, to which so much tax avoidance goes these days, a good deal via Edinburgh. It is alleged that Scotland is a debtor entity. Does history ever repeat itself?
Curses, in the late 1690’s!!! And 1694!!!
