I know you aren't as ignorant of history as you would have to be to actually believe this is an equivalent argument. So let's just leave it there.

In my opinion (which I rate very highly) the cause is the britich empire attitude. England expects all its conquests/colonies to support the mother land. Innit?

Same again, more or less ... 'twasn't the English Empire, it was the British, and it was built and run by Scots as much as English. Proportionate to population, possibly more so by the Scots than the English. Glasgow was, let's not forget, the second city of said Empire.
Scotland is neither a conquest nor a colony. It entered by its own choice into a political union with England and owned and managed the colonies of the Empire equally with England.
