A direct-line paternal ancestor of mine (Hugh Sempill, the 12th Lord Sempill) was the Brigadier General commanding the left flank of the Royal Army at the Battle of Culloden, so for better or for worse my family has been involved in keeping Scotland part of the United Kingdom. His unit still exists to this day as the Royal Scots Borderers (previously the King's Own Scottish Borderers).
