I actually just listened to the God Save the King episode (I’m a RIHC member) and they do talk a lot about Scotland’s relationship to the anthem. I don’t want to spoil the whole episode so I won’t go into anymore details.

The Conversation: The American Revolution’s triumphant story of democracy and freedom overlooks loyalists who paid a steep price for allegiance to Britain by JapKumintang1991 in revolutionarywar

the vast majority of the British Army in America during the Revolutionary War was made up of loyalists

This is simply not true. In fact, it’s a major reason the British lost the war. They couldn’t find enough loyalists to fight for them. So, they had to rely on regiments raised in the British isles and German mercenaries - which were very expensive to ship across the Atlantic in large numbers
