"King of Scotland" typically refers to the historical monarchs who ruled over Scotland before its union with England in 1707. Notable kings include Robert the Bruce, who led Scotland during the Wars of Scottish Independence, and James VI, who became the first king of both Scotland and England after the union. The title has also been popularized by the film "The Last King of Scotland," which portrays the life of Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator, through the eyes of a fictional Scottish doctor. This film highlights the complexities of power and the impact of colonialism in Africa.
