History: Midlothian and Lands of Scotland: Scotland:
The Scots and the English both disagreed with the new flag
The new Union flag was not used on land, but only at see. The Scots, who
were against laying the St. Georges´ cross over St. Andrews´
designed their own, where their own flag comes up front. The Scots were
against the union, but it was forced through by English bribes and under
threat of armed invasion.
The Act of Union was a disgraceful commercialist document and should
have never have been regarded as a Scottish "constitution". The treaty
was never ratified by the Scots parliament, not having received a two-thirds
majority of those present voting. Throughout Scotland there were major
riots, and Daniel Defoe (an English spy in Edinburgh) observed that the
people were one hundred to one against it.
Since 1707 there have been numerous breaches of this treaty, which
have led inevitably to the conclusion that the treaty has become invalid.
Out of 25 Articles of the Treaty, 9 have wholly been repelled by Westminster,
and 5 have been materially altered.

One of the parole books of the 74th at Fort George is still in existence,2
and it is curious to notice in the list of officers that every one was named
Campbell. Some of the blank pages of this book were used as an account book
at a later date by a man whose name does not appear; and they contain a
‘List of cattel brought down in the sloop from Penobscot.’ Under date of
June 20, 1784, separate charges appear against each of the following names,
with mention of the number of cattle and other live stock brought for each,
and the bill of expenses incurred:-
