A Scot's view of how little Scots are taught of their own history

[macmanjim]

For fellow Outlander fans ( mostly the books, for me; much better, IMHO, than the tv series) here is an interesting blog, by a young man who grew up in Edinburgh, making the point that Scots are taught next to nothing of Scottish history. I would like to "hear" the reaction of those Scots, who were educated in Scotland/ the UK, on how little, or how much, they were taught of Scottish history.

I saw this as I subscribe to his channel. I was surprised. I've been told how superior every educational system outside the US is to the US. FWIW, I remember reading accounts of Japanese young adults seeing the movie Pearl Harbor and they didn't know that happened...With Germany, they had to own up to their transgressions during the war and before, Japan didn't get the same treatment. Knowing one's history is important for everyone in that it gives context and substance to where one is from and who they are. Another thing is that the American experience is different from many other places. We're all from somewhere else and most haven't been here more than a few hundred years, whereas other countries are far less dynamic in terms of immigration and culture. What is important culturally will be different.
