Talk:Scotland in the early modern period

Dates
Is there any particular reason why this article runs to 1799 (or is it 1815?)? The early modern era usually runs up to about the mid-18th century when industrialisation began. In addition, the end of the Jacobite Rebellions would also seem to be an obvious political watershed. Are there any serious objections to moving the 18th century off to the modern Scotland article?--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 07:44, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I should add the other logical cut off date is the union in 1707 and I am open to suggestions on that one too.--''' SabreBD   (talk ) 15:28, 6 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The Germany, Britain and France articles all take it up to the Napoleonic Wars. That sounds fair enough to me, as does the end of the 45 (though 07 is too early). Happy to hear other opinions on this. Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 17:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Just inviting any more opinions on this one, since I have returned to plans to create the missing history article for modern Scotland. Of course it makes sense for France and Germany (and other countries) to use the French Revolution or Napoleonic Wars as their watershed, since those events had a profound impact on their constitutions. In Britain c.1750 is probably more usual since the Industrial Revolution is considered more significant. I agree that 1707 is rather too early. In terms of making sense 1746 tends to work best as it groups the contributions to Britain, Empire etc together. However, if that is not acceptable I could feed the 18th century stuff back here (basically its a more coherent and sourced resummary of the articles drawn on here).--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 10:40, 16 May 2011  (UTC)
