Aug 29th 1797. Dozens killed wounded many women raped. All committed by dragoons whose commanding officer was Viscount Hawkesbury, a future British PM….
Only learned of this atrocity earlier today.
These things should be taught in schools so we can know just how perfidious Albion was….and still is.
And to think many Scots actually believe that the Union was voluntary…..
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

‘Dozens’ is an exaggeration by all accounts, and Viscount Hawkesbury wasn’t there.

Parboiled and Tad Allagash as always being Boris` and Nigel`s useful idiots. Clueless about the history of Scotland and loyal to a nation both younger and more imperialist. And of course anyone who disagrees with them is either "uneducated" or "brainwashed by leftist woke universities" in their little bubble.
Like the Putin schills, Xi Schills, Zionists, Islamists and Evangelicals, these guys should just be mocked for both their ignorance and arrogance! Honestly, glad that these eejits are dying out! 🤣🤣🤣

Tad is correct though? It was a dozen rather than dozens.
Scottish history IS taught (alongside world history) but I don`t recall the Tranent being taught but I`m sure there was some stuff about Prestonpans.

22 people (at least) were killed, so more than a dozen, but not quite dozens. Being from Tranent, we certainly knew all about it. There`s a statute in the town centre of Jackie Crookston, who led the demonstrations, shouting NAE MILITIA.
A lot of the streets and areas of Tranent, are named after people who were killed in it.

History, like other subjects, is focused on a curriculum that teachers are tasked to follow - with specific exam questions on the menu.

I devoured Nigel Tranter novels in my early teens. As well as all the bloody battles Tranter was a great at relating the plotting, power grabs, rivalries, and back stabbing (often literally) of struggles for the throne and the politics of the time.
“who was known as as the the The Wisest fool in Christendom* featured as the million quid question on who wants to be a millionaire. The contestant didn’t know but I did ..it was the title of a Tranter novel about James 1 and v1.!

I got plenty of it at Primary school…….learnt all about Robert the Bruce, Bannockburn, Dunfermlines history, Mary Queen of Scots, Arthurs Seat and importantly Dalgety Bays history ……must just depend on which school your at I guess.
Visited Holyrood Palace, National Museum, Bannockburn, Stirling Castle, Abbot House, Dunfermline Abbey, St Margarets Cave all with the school too along with plenty of other places.

When was that - might be something to do with timescales as well?
Also I grew up in leith and not fife, so not sure if that would change curriculum?

Current Nat 5 curriculum covers Scottish and British history. For Scotland it covers:
War of independence
Mary Queen of Scots and reformation
Treaty of the union
Migration and the Empire
The Great War
It also covers European and World history so you get all the WW2 stuff, Cold war, American Civil rights etc.
Depressing seeing some of the stuff I was taught in *Modern* Studies now being covered in History 😂

We had Scottish history in Primary - I suspect teachers had leeway to cover it, unlike Secondary.

Yep - Modern Studies was the Berlin Wall and South African apartheid which were ‘current affairs’ when I was at school.

I said dozens killed wounded….missed an “ and “ out. So my OP was correct.
Back then the uppity Jocks we’re kept in their place by force if necessary.
Nothing has really changed. Instead of bullets and bayonets they use the media to placate and control us whilst removing our natural resources.
Aided and abetted of course by so called “ Proud Scots”…..the type Burns wrote about…..back then…
