Oh come on that's ridiculous, you did colonise a quarter of the world because Scotland is part of the UK. Dont know why you think that you're free from responsibility for British Imperialism because your constituent country isnt the biggest. It was not England that had the largest Empire in the world, it was Britain; England, Scotland, Wales and, at that time, Ireland. Plenty of Scots would have fought for the Empire and for colonial forces, it's stupid to pin the whole thing on England
