Even for the pro-Union side (who were *probably* the minority but that’s beside the point) at the time ;the Darien Scheme wasn’t a particularly prominent motivator. Concerns around the performance of the Scottish Africa Company, crop failures in the 1690s, wanting access to English market, and disputes around the royal succession were much more important issues. Saying the Darien Scheme lead to the Act of Union is a bit like saying America declared independence because tea got a bit more expensive in the 1770s.
When you say the Scottish wanted the Act of Union this isnt exactly true. The Scottish nobility wanted the Act of Union because they had run out of money, however the Scottish people mostly did not want the Act of Union and when it passed riots broke out across Scotland and the Scottish and English armies were forced to violently put down these riots.
The Scottish Parliament voted for the Acts of Union in order for them to pass. What are they meant to admit?
