Wouldn't accept sabre toothed tiger from me. I have never heard it referred to as sabre toothed cat. I believe the names are interchangeable.

I know it's semantics but Scotland didn't 'lose' it's independence, it's government voted to join the proposed union of the United Kingdom, and therefore freely gave up it's independence in the same way England gave up it's independence by agreeing to the union. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Union
