Wasn't British Imperialism a joint enterprise between the English and the Scots? Fairly sure that Glasgow, the second city of the empire, was built on wealth derived from slavery.

Pretty much every city with a port on the west coast the British Isles benefited from the "Atlantic trade " and therefore slavery.

Belfast was a huge cotton mill city on the east coast, but otherwise your post is valid.
