Some of the background history between Scotland and England

In Sport

In Football

Scotland V England was the debut international match in international football. It was a 0-0 draw. In the 1970s, supporters over exuberance reached a new level, though football authorities took a more relaxed view of such activities than in recent times, accepting a match steeped in centuries of history would be played out in an atmosphere somewhat short of being friendly. The most amazing scenes were those at Wembley in 1977. A 2-1 victory for Scotland was reason for thousands of Scots fans to invade the pitch following the final whistle.

Scotland versus England matches have represented all that is good and all that is bad about football since the fixture began in 1872. It was played almost every year except for the interruption of world war one and world war two. In 1989 the nnual nature of the match was finally stopped as the nations decided it would be useful to play foreign sides to teach their sides how to cope with the continental style of soccer.

Hampden Park and Wembley played host to scintillating battles between the two nations, involving some of the world's greatest players at the height of their careers.

In 1967 Scotland beat England's World Cup winners 3-2 at Wembley, allowing the Scottish media to hail the team as the best in the world for a day.

Resounding English wins in 1955 and 1961, 7-2 and 9-3 respectively, brought Scottish goalkeepers an unwanted reputation as second rate, a tag which has been difficult to shake off.

In 1937 Hampden stadium hosted a record crowd of 149415 for a Scotland v. England match, still the highest attendance in a British or European soccer game.

In club matches Scotland and England matches are refferred to as athe battle of Britain.
Scotland have played England on 110 occasions
Scotland have won on 41 occasions drawn on 24 and lost on 45 occasions.

At present the record is

In War

The Wars of Scottish Independence were a series of military campaigns fought between Scotland and England in the late 13th and early 14th centuries.

The First War (1296–1328) began with the English invasion of Scotland in 1296, and ended with the signing of the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328. The Second War (1332–1357) began with the English supported invasion of Edward Balliol and the 'Disinherited' in 1332, and ended around 1357 with the signing of the Treaty of Berwick. The wars were part of a great national crisis for Scotland and the period became one of the most defining moments in the nation's history. At the end of both wars, Scotland still retained her status as a free and independent nation, which was her main aim throughout the conflict. The wars were also important for other reasons, such as the emergence of the longbow as a key weapon in medieval warfare.

Sir William Wallace (c.1270 – 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight who led a resistance to the English occupation of Scotland during significant periods of the Wars of Scottish Independence. William was the inspiration for the historical novel The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie written by a 15th century minstrel. This work is more of a novel than a biography and is responsible for much of the legend encompassing the history of William Wallace. The movie Braveheart was based on the life of Sir William Wallace.

The Anglo-Scottish Wars were a series of wars fought between England and Scotland during the sixteenth century.

After the Wars of Scottish Independence, England and Scotland had fought several times during the14th and 15th centuries. In most cases, one nation had attempted to take advantage of weakness or instability in the other. For example, James II of Scotland had attempted to regain Berwick during the Wars of the Roses in England.

Famous battle fought between Scotland and England

Stirling bridge 1297

The Battle of Stirling Bridge was one of the series of conflicts of the Wars of Scottish Independence. On September 11, 1297 the forces of Andrew de Moray and William Wallace defeated the English forces.

The Battle of Falkirk 1298

Took place on 22 July 1298, was a major engagement in the Wars of Scottish Independence. An English army commanded by Edward I defeated the Scots under William Wallace. Despite his success Edward was unable to complete the subjugation of Scotland because his army had been weakened by the scorched-earth tactics used by Wallace prior to the battle.

The Battle of Bannockburn 1314

(June 23, 1314 – June 24, 1314) A significant Scottish victory in the Wars of Scottish Independence, that won Scotland indepdence from England. An outnumbered Scottish army of 9000 defeated an English army of 25,000. Although full English recognition of Scottish independence was not achieved until more than ten years.

Flodden 1513

The Battle of Flodden or Flodden Field was fought in the county of Northumberland, in northern England on September 9, 1513, between an invading Scots and French army and England. On this occasion an outnumbered English army won against Scottish army.

The Acts of Union were a pair of Acts of Parliament passed in 1707 (taking effect on 1 May) by the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland. The acts were the implementation of the Treaty of Union negotiated between the two kingdoms. The effect of the Acts was twofold:

To create a new state, the Kingdom of Great Britain, although the name had been used on occasion since 1603 when speaking of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland together, which had shared a monarch from that date but retained sovereign parliaments. Wales was also part of Great Britain since it had been annexed by England by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542.
To dissolve both parliaments and replace them with a new Parliament of Great Britain (known as the Union of the Parliaments). The new parliament was to be based in the former home of the English Parliament.

In the Cinema Industry

Braveheart

In Politicis

English politicians especially from the upper class and from London and the south east of England have dominated the politicis of the UK. Scotland has managed in occasion to claim a fair share of influence. Yet often this causes backlash from those who see themsleves as the natural ruling class of Britain.

Facts and Figures on Scotland and England

Four nations make up the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Nothern Ireland these are Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Scotland
Scotland a division of the UK in the north now with its own parliament. A beautiful, mountainous land with ancient stone ruins and much history. The Scots Gaelic language originates in the highlands.

Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a nation in the north west of Europe. It occupies a northern third of the island of Great Britain, shares a land border to the south with England, and is bounded by the North Sea in the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south west. Apart from the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands.

The capital is Edinburgh, Scotland's 2nd largest city after Glasgow and one of Europe's largest financial centres. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the EU.

The Kingdom of Scotland was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the Kingdom of England to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. Scotland continues to constitute a separate jurisdiction in public international law and private international law. Scots law, the Scottish education system and the Church of Scotland have been three cornerstones contributing to the continuation of Scottish culture and Scottish national identity since the Union. Scotland is not, however, a sovereign state and does not enjoy direct membership of either the UN or the EU.

The Kingdom of Scotland is traditionally dated from 843, when Kenneth I of Scotland became King of the Picts and Scots.

England

The Kingdom of England is a state located in western Europe, in the south part of the island of Great Britain. The chief royal residence was originally located at Winchester, in Hampshire, but London and Gloucester were accorded almost equal status - especially London, which had become the de facto capital by the beginning of the 12th century. London served as the capital of the kingdom until its merger with Scotland in 1707 and continues to remain a chief city of England. The city also served as the capital of both the Kingdom of Great Britain (1707–1801) and the UKof Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922). Today it remains a capital of the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The Kingdom of England has no specific founding date. The Kingdom can trace its origins to the Heptarchy, the rule of what would later become England by seven minor Kingdoms: East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, and Wessex. The Kings of Wessex became increasingly dominant over the other kingdoms of England during the 9th century. Alfred the Great (reigned 871–899) was the first King of Wessex to style himself "King of England".
