I wonder what his view is about Pictish imperialism’s conquest of the kingdom of Dal Riada and The Kingdom of Alba’s imperialistic conquest of the Brythonic Kingdom of Strathclyde and the later Alba/Scottish conquest of the Lordship of Galloway.
Would his view of Imperialism would have been different if the Scottish colony of Darien had been a success instead of a disaster.
Perhaps as a native Northumbrian, I should “never feel really free” while Scottish Occupied Northumbria (the Lothians) is still part of an Imperialist Scotland!
