Scottish Independence hasn't yet been gained. Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom. The SNP, Scottish National Party, have promised the people of Scotland a referendum on Scottish independence but it hasn't happened yet.

The ordinary people lived as peasants during the wars of Scottish independence.
In the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, the Scottish National Party (SNP) won a total of 69 seats. This marked a significant increase from their previous total and allowed them to form a majority government for the first time in the parliament's history. The SNP's success in 2011 was a pivotal moment in Scottish politics, enhancing their influence on issues such as independence.
The Scots (as a whole nation) never fought a war of independence.
In the Scottish Borders, the winning vote is a huge no. 55,553 voted no. 27,906 voted yes.
A referendum in Scotland in September 2014 decided that the Scottish people would rather not have independence from the rest of the UK. However, around 1.6 million people voted for independence and 2 million for the status quo.
Wars of Scottish Independence
THE Scottish National Party is motivated to achieve Scottish independence, to maintain and grow Scottish Nationalism, to promote social democracy, and to allow for tolerance and freedom in a Scottish nation.
