Hopefully most of the historic association between Scots and brutal warfare will start to diminish with Independence.
In was a symptom of how we were exploited by the Union. Young workless lads? Oh just get them intae the Army, cannon fodder for the Empire.

I think that just about takes the biscuit so far, although I am sure you have a few more gems up your sleeve, ake.

Being cannon fodder was nothing to do with being Scottish. Do you think no-one from Lancashire or Yorkshire or Northumberland was hard done by in times of conflict? Get that chip off your shoulder and eat it with your deep fried pie.
