I would have to agree that I remember being taught very little about Scotland's history, it was all about the history of Great Britain and worldwide events aka Christopher Columbus etc. I won't say that this was all bad, but thinking back it does seem strange that we were taught so little about our own country which had such a colourful past.

I guess some may think that this was a deliberate ploy to reduce the friction that still existed between the Scots/English even in the 1970s, but if it was, it didn't work that well as the rivalry and shenanigans that happened around sporting events of that era demonstrates.
