Um. These people are aware that plenty of Scots were redcoats too, don't they? They do realise that Scots formed a considerable part of the British Army, don't they? They do realise that the Jacobite rebellions were civil wars over who should occupy the throne of the United Kingdom, it wasn't some Scots vs. English thing??
If the arguments for renaming the café were due to objections over the role the British Army played in imperial atrocities overseas (which, btw, featured plenty of Scottish generals and governors slaughtering indigenous peoples), I could understand, but to object to it being ~offensive to Scots~ is dumb as fuck.
People, I am begging you. Put down Outlander and pick up a fucking history book for five minutes.
