On and off for approx 900 years from the 9th to the 18th century. Some would argue we are still are war with them by other means.

Only the Sacred Congregation for Causes of Saints would know the reason that date was chosen. While the feast day for any saint is usually the day that the person entered Heaven, it is not a rule. Any date can be chosen, especially (as in the case of Andrew) when the date of death is not known.

It's a Scottish word.

This was the beginning of the first Scottish War of Independance.

Scotland's political leader, or First Minister, is Alex Salmond of the Scottish National Party, who presides over the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood with an SNP majority of just one seat.

The Head of State is HM The Queen. The political leader of Scotland is the First Minister (since 2007 Alex Salmond). Scotland is part of the UK, of which the political leader is the Prime Minister (since 2010 David Cameron).

However, in 2014, quickly after the loss of the Independence referendum, Salmond stood down as First Minister. Nicola Sturgeon, has filled the position of Fist Minister and is also the first female to ever hold this position.

James I was succeeded by his son, Charles I, in 1625.

Mc (pronounced Muh or Mak, never mick) is Gaelic for "Son of" like the prefix Fitz (Fitzwilliam e.g.) in old French. Maguinness or McGuinness would be pronounced the same and mean originally MacAngus: Son of, or from the family of Angus

Mc is associated with Irish names. Mac is associated with Scottish names. Both mean the same - son of.

Answer 1: Robert the Bruce defeated the English King Edward the Second at the Battle of Banockburn.

Improvement:

Wheras Answer one is a fact, this did not gain for Robert the Bruce the crown of Scotland. King Robert 1st Of Scotland won the crown by claim of right as King David 1 of Scotland's 4th Great grandson.

In the process Bruce had to kill John Comyn, who had a rival claim through another royal line via John Baliol.

The Stone of Scone, also called the Stone of Destiny, is currently kept at Edinburgh Castle but arrangements are in place for it to travel to Westminster Abbey in London for any future coronations. In the past it was kept at Scone Abbey before its removal to Westminster Abbey in England where it remained until it was returned to Scotland in 1996.

Initially, King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England in 1603 as heir of Elizabeth I. This united the crowns England and Scotland. Slowly the governments merged, with most power gravitating to London. In 1707 the parliaments of Scotland and England merged to form the United Kingdom.

Scotland is part of the UK and as such uses British currency.

The currency of the UK is the Pound.

Yes. There have been many claimed sightings of the Loch Ness monster. Nessie has been seen and photographed hundreds of times.There even is video evidence.But no one has come forward with definite proof.Until they do,Loch Ness will remain shrouded in mystery.

You've contradicted yourself with that "Yes" and the "Nessie has been seen" sentence. Many photos have been taken but even ignoring the hoaxes, none have ever stood scrutiny, partly because most have no scale such as a boat. No real evidence of any large creatures living in the long, very deep, dark Loch has been produced.

The population in Scotland in 1806 was about 800,000 people. As of the 2011 census, the population stood at 5,925,000.

Not exactly. Scottish people are a mongrel race. From Scandanavian countries, English, the indigenous population (the picts) and the Irish. Scotland took it's name from the Irish 'Scotti' tribe who settled in what is now Scotland in the dark ages.

There are many. Here are the main 4. S.N.P. (Scottish National Party), Labour Party, Liberal Democratic Party and the Conservitive Party. There is also the Green Party and the Scottish Socialist Party.

I believe it was because King James II wanted his archers wanted to focus less on golf and more on archery practice. Also, I also have heard he banned it because "it looketh like a silly game."

A group of English knights spotted the Scottish skirmish line retreating. One Scot alone seemed to be waiting for them, on a grey Highland pony and war-axe in hand. Henry De Bohun (pronounced 'Boon') recognised him, and spurred ahead of the others into a vainglorious charge into history. Bruce did not move until the Englishman's lance-point was just feet away. Then he pulled his little horse aside, his axe cutting down through De Bohun's helmet and skull from crest to chin. He rode back to his division, and when he was reproached for the risk he had taken he looked at his splintered weapon and said 'I have broken the haft of my good battle-axe.' Bruce's encounter with De Bohun was the stuff of heroic legend and has been so honoured in schoolrooms ever since, but in an age sceptical of human motives he can appear to be more artful than valient, and much safer than his reckless opponent. Once committed to his tilt, head down and lance couched, De Bohun relied upon weight and not manoeuvre, and against an enemy similarly commited victory would have been decided by brute impact. But here a cool-headed, lightly armed and lightly horsed man ignored the nice obligations of chivalry, side-stepped a rider who could not be halted and slew him like an ox as he passed. Outnumbered three to one, the Scots should have seen the lesson, which was perhaps what Bruce intended.

Yes he had Matilda with his first wife Isabella, then David, John, Matilda and Margaret with Elizabeth. He had other illegitimate children.
