Henry VIII wanted Mary to marry his son Edward VI, but the Scots didn't want this, so they sent Mary to France to be educated so that she was out of the way. There she met Francis, Dauphin of France and in 1558 they married in Notre Dame Cathedral Paris.

How did World War 2 affect Scottish people?

The Scots were affected the same way the Brits were affected by World War 2. The Scots were ruled by the Brits in the 1940s. They had food and product rationing, women worked in war plants and took in evacuees, and they did war work as nurses, clerks, and military personnel. Edinburgh and other coastal areas were bombed just as British cities and English Channel coastal areas were damaged by the bombs. In the mountain areas of Scotland the rural communities took in a large number of British children during the evacuation. The children were exposed to the culture of the Scots. For some of them it was the first time the children had ever heard the Gaelic sound and accent. They learned of many colorful ways the Scots had held for centuries. The Scots sent their men to fight too so they too suffered the losses of their family members. (See the Highlanders in our reference library if you want to know about them.) They did as much as they could to contribute to the war effort despite the loss of men and the men who were injured. As they say over there: Up the Scottish! It was like saying Go Scots!
