I remember going on a school trip to Edinburgh Castle 30 odd years ago and whilst there one of the staff told us a story about how the body / skeleton of an...

I don't see how it can be his land - he is Belgian. A look at any history book will inform you that many Scots fought against the Jacobites, including the line...
With all respect, it sounds to me like you are confusing Jacobitism with Scottish nationalism. They aren't the same thing at all - one can be one without the...
