It's to do with the Act of Union in 1707. The Nobles were bribed with English money to effectively sign away Scotland's political independence (against the will of the Scottish people), hence to quote Rabbie Burns poem "Parcel o rogues"
"We were bocht an sold for Inglis Gold,
sic a parcel o rogues in a nation".

Because they've forgotten Ireland was part of that travesty. Thousands of years of Irish history - most of it bad - for the Irish.
