I think that people who post on this forum in the past wee while have improved it a bit. Covid has been an interesting topic and so has the discussion about Holyrood and Nicola. Noticed she has volunteered to give up her daily broadcast during the run up to the election because it was unfair. Must have been true then when all the other political parties have been saying this for months.
Union of crowns I understood to be 1603, act of union early 17 hundreds....1707 prob right and in between there was the union of commonwealth of Eng, Scot and Ireland....don't know date....might be same date as when they done away with absolute monarchy.
