I have a project that i have to do for one of my classes and i got a lot of the questions but there’s some that i can’t figure out about the Scottish lifestyle. If anyone could help me out with the following questions it would be of great appreciation.

What is the “social life” like? in other words what do people your age do for fun? (i’m 19)

What are some Scottish traditions?

What are some popular foods?

What would you consider your Scotland’s clothing style to be?

And what type of music do you listen to?

Charles Edward Stuart was born on 31 December 1720 was known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was the exiled Jacobite claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. He was the grandson of James II and James VII, after his father’s death Charles was recognised as Charles III by his supporters, his opponents referred to him as The Young Pretender. In December 1743, Charles’ father named him Prince Regent which gave him full authority to seek to regain all thrones. He kitted out two ships but his hopes of raising a French fleet were dashed and he landed in Scotland having to raise an army. He had hoped for wide support from the Highland clans, it was slow in materialising but he eventually raised a large enough force to march and take Edinburgh, he then defeated a government army at the Battle of Prestonpans. Subsequently he marched South, taking Carlisle and making his way as far as Derbyshire, however the English Jacobite support that he was expecting never occurred and he returned to Scotland. George II’s son, the Duke of Cumberland marched north and the two met at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746 with the Duke massacring Charles’ forces. Bonnie Prince Charlie fled the country, escaping to France. He informed his Jacobite supporters that he would never regain the throne as a Catholic, accordingly he slipped back into England in 1750 and conformed to the Protestant faith. He died in Rome on 31 January 1788 and is buried in a crypt in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

This is a rather vague question. I read multiple novels at one point, all covering different aspects of this time period–I just want everything to make sense. I understand Henry VIII and his wives, how the boy king Edward ruled for a few shaky years, how bloody Mary took the throne and tried to reestablish Catholicism, and how Elizabeth eventually gained the throne and brought stability and prosperity to England for years.

Then I hit a gray area. I know something about King James and then something happened to him to unseat him from the throne, and how his son, Bonnie Prince Charlie, tried to regain twice, circa 1718 and 1745 with the help of Highland clans and French support that never actually showed.

If someone could help clarify the details of what was going on in Britain and France and Rome during this time period, I would appreciate it. I’m going to award a best answer if someone explains it well enough.
