As far as I am aware there has been no examination of what specifically resulted in the Treaty of Union in 1707 - no mention of the Alien Act in 1705.<br /><br />No questions about the supposed sovereignty of the Westminster Parliament - it has only been presumed to be so because of its location within the jurisdiction of English law.<br /><br />No detailed historical examination of what Scottish independence would mean for the United Kingdom.<br /><br /><i>'In contrast, Lane says, Scotland cannot break away like Ireland as it was 'one of the basic building blocks of "the United Kingdom of Great Britain"' (Lane 1991: 146). Without Scotland there is no 'Great Britain' and without Great Britain there is no 'United Kingdom'.'<br /><br />SOURCE: 'SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE: A Practical Guide' by Jo Eric Murkens with Peter Jones and Michael Keating, p. 109, ISBN 0-7486-1699-3.<br /><br />'But the theories of English constitutional lawyers prevailed, and the union has proved to have no more sanctity than any other statute. From time to time attempts have been made to appeal to the terms of union, but always without success.'<br /><br />SOURCE: 'Scotland: The Shaping of a Nation' by Gordon Donaldson, p. 58, ISBN 0 7153 6904 0.</i><br /><br />Scottish saying-<br /><br /><b>Facts are chiels that winna ding.
