It makes one place on a map more than simply in a different location to another place on a map. Scotland is no exception to this. From our tartans and traditions, to our writing, music, languages and so much more, the culture that has come to define Scotland has become known around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCringe no more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1707 Act of Union that took away Scotland's independence, Scots have been taught to dislike, dismiss, or even flat out deny their culture.

Bringing a sense of worth back to Scots through a focus on their Scottish culture is my main aims in creating this art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotland and France signed a treaty in 1295, to come to each other's aid should either be attacked by England.
