The Plundering of Scotland
The Union is built on a lie.
The lie is that the UK parliament has sovereignty over Scotland. It doesn’t. It’s a lie. But the lie was necessary for the UK to shackle and subjugate Scotland.
It then proceeded to commit massive criminal fraud by ransacking and stealing Scotland’s natural resources while the lie ensured we were treated as nothing more than a colony.
The Union has been a cover for the stealing from Scotland since the 18th century and it’s still going on in the 21st century. Of the £80bn expected revenues from oil and gas over the next six years, £65bn will be stolen from Scotland.
We are Salvo, the campaigning arm of the Scottish National Congress, which has accused the UK government of fraud and will be bringing a case for compensation before the International Court of Justice. The submission and accompanying press release are linked below:
Reclaiming the Rights of the Sovereign, Territorial, Nation of Scotland
Press Release accompanying the submission
Whether you’re a long time supporter of independence or someone who has started to find out the truth about the ‘voluntary’ Union of Scotland and England, then join the thousands of your fellow Scots in the Scottish Liberation Movement. It’s free and does not commit you to anything other than declaring the right of the people of Scotland to the ownership of Scotland.
And when you want to campaign, join us in Salvo. We and the thousands who have joined us already, would love to have you on board spreading the word about the Claim of Right and the Scottish Constitution.

Salvo was formed to restore Scotland’s Claim of Right. It’s not going to be easy. We are up against a powerful and utterly determined British Establishment that will do everything in its power to rubbish the truth about Scotland’s constitution as foolish and divorced from the political reality. But political realities can change.
We need you to change the political reality and help build an unstoppable liberation movement to restore our ancient and rightful constitution through the Claim of Right.
Start by joining us. Then read more about our astonishing history and how the Claim of Right was the culmination of centuries of law that formed our constitution, a constitution kept hidden for over 300 years by the pernicious and forced Union of Scotland and England.

The Claim of Right
The Claim of Right
For centuries, our political and legal character before the Treaty of Union in 1707 has been sneered at. Apparently, we were a nation dominated by English-style nobles where the rights of the ‘small folk’, the ordinary man and woman, were virtually non-existent.
But it’s not true.
Scotland was a nation that held power to account, that saw to the needs of the poor and the rights of everybody. It tells of the right to rebellion against tyranny and of the care of a people for the education of the poorest as well as the richest. Of the right not only to justice for all but of the kind of justice that applied to king or a candlemaker alike.
It’s about time we all knew true history of our constitution. And be proud of it. And once you know about it, to join Salvo to get it back.
The Claim of Right and the Union of Scotland & England
In the difficult negotiations for the Union of Scotland and England, there was one especially thorny obstacle: the two nations had opposing and irreconcilable constitutions.
In England, the Bill of Rights gave parliament sovereignty over the people. But in Scotland the Claim of Right ensured the sovereignty of the people, not parliament.
The incompatibility of the constitutions could not be resolved. Instead, the two nations agreed to keep their separate constitutions, with a guarantee to Scotland.
The guarantee was to specify the Claim of Right as a condition of the treaty and of the Union itself, “for all time coming”.

Watch Sara Salyers explain the Claim of Right
The true history of Scottish political and social development is something most of us were never taught or learned. Yet it is a marvel and a thing to be proud of. It reveals the deep roots of our values, ideals and aspirations and explains our sense that being a Scot is something quite different from being ‘British. And more than this, it includes something urgently important right now: our own constitution.
