1820 is the last time something really surprising happened in Scotland: the last uprising on British soil, intent on severing the Union, smashing the state and establishing a republic.
It's almost certain that you won't have heard of this historical event, whether your from Scotland or not. In fact the chance is your more likely to know about it if you are from 'elsewhere'.
*For more on the uprising see 'THE SCOTTISH INSURRECTION OF 1820' (Gollancz 1970, Pluto Free 1989) by Peter Ellis & S. Maca'Ghobhain or go here to visit the 1820 Society website.
