Original Note:
The UK did not 'steal' Scotland's oil wealth. Scotland is a region of the UK, it is not an independent nation and has never had an instrinsic right to oil taxation revenues. It was the UK's oil and was taxed by the UK government to benefit UK citizens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Scotland%27s_oil#Reality_of_claim
