You missed "left".
There were plenty of records, some are still being found. There are suggestions electricity might have been around during that time, but it went against the beliefs of the religious control at the time, so anything that didn't hold them as being the knowledge of all things as the earthly representative of god, was destroyed.
Witchcraft, a perfect example of Arthur C Clare's 3rd Law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
The advent of the printing press is probably the most important achievement that moved us on the from the Dark Ages, too many people learned to read and the control of peoples minds was lost ....

Forgetting about the facts then, you are a well read, educated individual so I think your opinion is worth listening too on this
Do you believe there is a chance Scotland can gain its independence in the next 10 years

It's one way for me to get enough posts and reactions to win this in a canter. Except that I'm going on holiday for a month, so talk among yourselves.

Short answer, not with this bunch of useless, woke-obsessed numpties in charge.

England and Scotland have something in common.

 

[Rolfe]

Along with a fair chunk of the rest of the world!

Apparently not, or at least we went forwards in as many things as we went backwards.

I say backwards as the Romans had some cracking ideas that went into disuse.

I thought they left and we demolished everything they built?

My misunderstanding.

It seems that preserving or reusing Roman buildings wasn't a thing way back when, so they were taken down to use the materials to construct new buildings.

I'm sure there are some home counties type chaps who may disagree that Scottish speak English

And if you didnt want us speaking it you shouldn't have invaded us, took our lands cleared the Highlands and moved your nobility in

 

[tsedge]

I did no such thing.
