Originally, in the nineteenth century, it was because of the highland clearances in which landowners with that rented out to farmers (crofters in Scots) and clan chiefs that officially owned the land their clans lived on evicted the tenants and clansmen from their farmhouses (crofts) and abodes so they could rear sheep as they were more profitable - although before that, Scotland had it's own colony in North America known as Nova Scotia (and had planned to make one in Panama, which had failed) which was treated as an equal part of Scotland (same way France treated her colonies and now overseas territories) and a part of Scotland within the United Kingdom after the union of parliaments.

In more modern days, it's more likely to be the poor state of living in most of Scotland because of our presence in the united kingdom. (Overall, Scotland doesn't loses a small amount of money to westminster, and has to give away it's possible exports such as Electricity, Fruit, and most crucially Oil - Scotland is a major oil-producing nation and doesn't receive a penny for it)
