[@lesigh1749]

[@Azog150]

If we're going into that, before 1707 modern conceptions of nationalism didn't even exist. The English-Scottish border was fairly fluid throughout much of history. The Reavers famously raided and freely travelled across both sides of the border. Loyalty was as likely to be to a local lord or baron (or maybe clan) as it was to the Crown or "nation", and later on during the European Wars of Religion loyalty was just as likely to be dictated by Protestantism, Catholicism and competing ideas of the relationship between Chruch and State - as it was to any notions of national identity. Plus the Union of Crowns was 1603 .

[@williamharwood6139]

@@Azog150 Thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! Of course it did, soldiers fought on behalf of the nation state because they felt Scottish. Scotland had existed for almost 1000 years by 1707, why do you think there was so much rioting across Scotland when the act of the union was happening. People were Scottish and they did not want to be British. The union of the crowns did not create a nation state. English and Scottish were still very much separate countries.

[@Azog150]

@@williamharwood6139 Open a history book before throwing around accusations of stupidity. It is very commonly accepted - nationalism is a modern and consciously created idea. Soldiers fought pre-nationalism because they were called up by their local lord. And soldiers would frequently end up fighting for other "nations" depending on the way things went. Professional soldiery didn't even exist for the most part (besides mercenaries who would fight for whoever had the most coin), most peasents had never left within 10kms of their town or village, they couldn't read or write and so had no real conception of what was happening outside of those 10kms - let alone on the other side of the country, besides hearsay from travellers or the marketplace, and possibly the occasional edict from a king or baron. It's not like they were opening up a national newspaper, and it's not like a peasent in Berwickshire gave a shite what was happening in the Highlands. Likewise, a Northrumbrian peasent and a Berwickshire peasent would have had far more in common and known far more of each other than they would a Southern English or Highlands peasent. The earliest known recipe for haggis (something we now take for granted as fundementally Scottish) is a Northern English receipe from the 1400s, to give an idea. Even after the printing press when more and more people could read, religion was more likely to be the barometer of loyalty than nation. Take the Wars of Religion for example, you had English fighting for the Jacobites, Scots fighting for the Williamites - and William was himself Dutch. The English Guy Fawkes famously fought with the Spanish in the Dutch 80-years war. In the Wars of the Three Kingdoms you had Scottish Conventers and English Parliamentarians fighting Scottish and English Royalists, before the Scottish Covenenters then sided with the English Royalists against the English Parliamentarians. Modern conceptions of nationalism started in the late 18th/early 19th Centuries - spurred on by the French and American Revolutions. Pretty much every national identity you can think of (modern Scottish ntionalism, modern Irish nationalism, modern German nationalism and so on) took their national symbols and myths from that time. The kilt, for example, is a reletively modern creation. The famous Russian dolls were actually an idea taken from Japan at the end of the 19th century. etc etc The whole point of nationalism is it constructs modern myths and symbols that seem ancient. That's what makes it such a powerful idea and why most people now take it for granted. That's not to say modern conceptions of nationalism didn't draw on older ideas or identities, and that at various points throughout history ideas of Scotland or England or whatever haven't been utilized - often in the form of loyalty to a monarch. But nationalism as the way we understand it today is very much a modern idea. And back in Medieval times there was nothing stopping a peasent along the North or England/South of Scotland from freely wandering, trading, and interacting across the border. To a peasent pretty much everyone not from their village was a foreigner or outsider.
