Description
The Last Colony by Ron Culley Scotland's natural resources are vast and varied, with over eighty percent of the UK's North Sea assets and more fresh water in its lochs than in all of England and Wales. However, despite having an abundance of natural riches, Scotland has historically struggled economically, tied to its larger neighbour to the south. As the world entered the twenty-first century, Scottish independence began to gain momentum, threatening the status quo of the Establishment and the economy. The UK government responded by instructing MI5 to act to save the Union and retain Scotland as a servile British colony, shackled to Westminster. This gripping novel explores the tensions between Scotland's desire for independence and its historical ties to the rest of the UK, set against the backdrop of a country rich in natural resources but struggling economically.
