Yes, The English do often get blamed for historical misdeeds when it was actually the British who were at fault. I have more than once heard it myself and quite often and only recently at the visitor centre at Culloden. After listening to this misinformation too many times that day, I took the guide aside and reminded him that more Scots fought on the British side than on the side of Bonny Prince Charlie.He was, unsurprisingly, not best pleased with me. To his credit he went and checked and later on in the day he actually found me and confirmed what I had told him.
In my experience the English do regularly get blamed for just about everything by the Scots, including the weather! Its just one of those things, the English just have to live with!
