I probably wasn't completely clear. Henry did this in England, not Scotland. Scotland was still an independent country during Henry's reign.

As I said, scots were capable enough to destroy that heritage by their own without the help of a foreign tirannus

It was actually quite common in the Middle Ages for a King in need of money to declare that horrible things were happening in a monaster that were heretical then confiscate their lands and expel the monks. Anyone that is rich in an autocratic society could fall to that fate.
