The connections between ENGLAND and France were strong. Perhaps there were
many years spent at the French court, but Bonnie Prince Charlie did not
establish Scotland as a free country.
And if you read about Mary, Queen of Scots (she was also a Stuart) spent
much time in the French court. However, apparently she did not want to have
much to do with it.
Scotland is still a British province.
Be that as it may, St. Andrews Night is still a fun custom
