We used to have la Garde Écossaise in the French Army for a very long time :

Quote:
The Garde Écossaise (French pronunciation: ​[ɡaʁd ekɔsɛz], Scots Guard) was an elite Scottish military unit founded in 1418 by the Valois Charles VII of France, to be personal bodyguards to the French monarchy. They were assimilated into the Maison du Roi and later formed the first company of the Garde du Corps du Roi (Life Guards).

So yes we had Scottish even before the English thought about it, they stole our idea. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And I will always remember Quentin Durward http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Durward for which we had a TV show in France during the 70's.
