We all love a good story and there is no better or more compelling a story than that of Scotland.
Perhaps because our Political neighbours across the border have gone to such great lengths to keep it hidden. Everything we have been taught since the day we entered school has been taught from an English perspective. The vague Scottish history we were taught only included the major battles and who won or lost, nothing about the dark politics behind them.
Only now are we beginning to understand who we are and why we are where we are at this juncture of our history. And only now are we beginning to see that the same dark politics of 400 yrs ago are still at play today.
Scotland’s history is still being written…..but who will write it?
Who should write our history, some historian in the future with an agenda or people with lived experiences?
We all can write some of Scotland’s future history be it through blogs or private diaries….anything that records our lived events. By putting words onto paper or online we are recording history, a history no one can dispute because it’s your lived experience.
Salvo is writing a story, Scotland’s story, the one we were never told or meant to hear. A story built on facts, indisputable facts, a story that must be told and can be linked to the present.
Governments never change and that is their Achilles heal. They think what has worked for 400 years or more will continue to work today, but have they met their match?
Have they gone too far?
Are Scots awakening from their sleep and backed with a pile of documents will they lift the lid off centuries of lies?…..Yes the will!
Why is it so important to tell Scotland’s story? Well firstly it connects us to our real identity and secondly how we were robbed of it…..leading on to regaining it.
….. and Scotland regaining its identity will only be the beginning!
Help Salvo tell Scotland’s story!
