Wow! You are right. Whomever takes over land, the important thing is that it is loved and cared for.

That was my point. Even in the Middle Ages, some of those who moved in from England (Comyns), loved the land and people, and were loved back by the people and became just as Scottish and anyone else. I suppose that happens today. The Scots can do damage to their own land, as that article points out. Thanks for the link.
