‘Anglo-British rule over Scotland was not, therefore, caused by the dynastic inheritances of James VI, but by the political machinations of Queen Anne and her English Ministers a century later.’ – W Elliot Bulmer, Burning the Union at Both Ends
‘Since the so-called ‘Union of Crowns’ of 1603 placed a Scottish king (James VI) upon the English throne, it has even been alleged that the Union’s origins lie in a Scottish take-over of England, and not the other way around.
‘After the accession of George I, a similar personal union occurred with the Elector of Hanover, yet we do not regard that as a Union of Crowns or as the precursor to political (‘incorporating’) Union.
