Detailed Solution

The Scottish Highlanders were forbidden to speak their Gaelic language by the British.

Scotland's indigenous culture and political institutions were ruthlessly destroyed as a result of the development of British identity.

The Scottish Highlanders were forcibly expelled from their country and were not allowed to speak their native Gaelic language or dress in their traditional garb.
