Scotland is a very proud country and they admire William Wallace's bravery to take on the English. Although there is still some tension with England, it's mostly friendly banter and no one is threatening to hang, draw and quarter outsiders.

If you're going to bring up the topic of freedom, just stick with your best Mel Gibson impression and pretend that you're riding a horse into battle.
