You are referring to Cromwell although it isn't strictly true that he was directly responsible for the attempt although the Puritans he was associated with were and he has come to represent everything they did. In addition the legislation had come into being before he became Lord Protector in 1653 and strictly speaking he was English at the time not British only invading Scotland in 1650. [Scotland and England only joined politically in the act of Union in 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain although the Crowns were already joined in 1603 and Scotland was administered under the Commonwealth after Cromwell's invasion.] See related question below for the detail:-
