@Bruce-1956 Actually it was not only requested back, there were actually several English attempts to have it returned before the 1707 act of Union, what you're talking about is that there has never been any English attempts to request it back since 1707, but prior to 1707 there was. As for Google, the information is only as good as the knowledge and insight of the people who upload the information you are looking at. Even Wikipedia can easily be edited by anyone.

A dastardly plot by Scottish lairds and English capitalists. The latter persuaded the former that they could make far more money from raising sheep than their paltry income from their peasant tenants. This led directly to the infamous highland clearances which forcibly drove the poor off their ancestral lands. A good many took ship to Canada and subsequently united themselves with the indigenous, notably the Cree nation. Those displaced Scots are one of the two European roots (the other being the French) of the Métis people of Canada.

This is earlier - the Acts of Union. The Scottish who lost money from the Darien venture were paid off to sell Scotland to England, along with other MPs that were bribed, and others that had their English lands threatened to be confiscated unless they accepted in the Alien Act. The Clearences were similar enough - Chiefs were forced to send their kids to city schools (Statutes of Iona) where they were taught they weren't clan chiefs, but landholders. The time they were compelled to live in the city caused them to become indebted, and they paid those manufactured debts by plundering their clans. It started earlier and continues today around the world - teach kids young they should conform, and tax them so they can never be free. Now we happily feed from the trough and are grateful for whatever our masters give us. People talk about the cattle being replaced by sheep in the highlands, but it's the people that became livestock.
