From the Paper:

"The history of Scotland is very detailed and rich one. It dates back around 6000 years ago, and has been going strong ever since. Fighting has always been present within the country. Scotland is constantly trying to free itself from others and become independent on its own terms. It has always been in the shadow of the British Empire, and only in today's modern age has Scotland taken the next step to fully becoming its own nation. The decisive Labour victory in the 1997 general election resulted in the loss of all Conservative seats in Scotland and the birth of a Scottish Parliament, which first convened in 1999.A new parliament building was constructed at Holyrood in Edinburgh, and opened in November 2003. The Labour government has already granted limited Scottish devolution, so the birth of an independent Scotland some time in the 21st century isn't such a romantic idea after all. Currently the head of State is Queen Elizabeth II and the Head of Government is Prime Minister Tony Blair."
