Darien Disaster 達瑞恩災難

Darien Disaster
繁：達瑞恩災難
简：达瑞恩灾难

有些蘇格蘭人並沒有忘記，1707年之所以和英格蘭結盟，部分上是因為他們破產了，當時蘇格蘭參與了一個膽大妄為的計劃，現在被稱為「達瑞恩災難」(Darien Disaster)，涉及巴拿馬一個瘧疾肆虐的沼澤。

The Darien disaster forced Scots to confront reality and recognise the merits of Union. Now, with the SNP’s make-believe economics, we are in grave danger of drifting out of that Union – even though only last September a majority of Scots voted against independence, believing that we are indeed ‘Better Together’.
