Considering my town was mostly poor, illiterate, and in the middle of an economic slump... most likely move to London or another large city. Once there try to become an apprentice for someone, or use my reading and writing skills to become a clerk or something.
But most likely is freakout and die like a month later because i have no papers, no money, and no understanding of life in this era.

Well the idea was your Clan chief would protect you and help you if you fell on bad times, and in turn you would pay him a certain amount of annual rent (cash, crops, livestock, produce, crafts, or the rent could be deferred in exchange for labour) and fight for him if another Clan was giving him guff or if the King of Scotland needed soldiers.

Obviously it would be a bit hard to petition the chief for help if no other clansmen know who you are, you couldn't just walk up to him and be all

Try desperately hard to survive with no infrastructure or technology. Probably end up approaching the only other people in the area (native Americans) and either be immediately killed by them or accepted into their tribe. As a white person the former is probably more likely.

From there I could either go south to New Spain or east to New Orleans where I'd have to learn how to speak Spanish or French. If I'm lucky I'll make enough money doing god knows what until I can book passage to an English speaking colony. From there hopefully get back to Europe where the only respectable civilization would exist at that time.

Every country was dominated by one or another. England by France, Holland, Scotland by England, etc.

Moldova was dominated too (It's kings were elected by the consent of the Sultan until the 16th century, and then appointed directly by him starting with the 18th century) but it never lost it's independence.

Probably befriend local indigenous tribe... Learn basics of their language, have them teach me bush survival skills... Migrate up the east coast of australia until I reach the northern tip of the cap York peninsula.... Befriend local sea faring Torres Strait islands are persuade them to transport me in their bark canoes the short distance to umboi island on a cliff face overlooking the damper strait. Once there tend to a raging bonfire to attract the attention of William Dampier in HMS Roebuck as he traverses the strait in his aborted attempt to navigate the East coast of Australia. persuad him to take me back to the motherland where I receive an audience with Kng Charles II and amaze him with my stories of foreign lands and future times

No I said retain Malagasy culture. I am "muh heritage" malagasy via Virginia not Malagasy-Malagasy.

Still it'd be interesting for sure from what I gather many Malagasy slaves and freed people assimilated into Shinnecock and Ramapough Mountain tribes. Like they did in Virginia.

Considered that I'm more fit and healthy that anyone in that time and war is about to start, I would try to find a way to get a job and if I can't do so I would join the army to eat, I would try to remenber anything of the war I can so I try to avoid battles where enemy is vastly superior and would try to think of any improvement to weaponry of that age, after that I would try to remenber as much of science as I can, write it in a book and sell it, so my name goes down to history.

Well obviously I wouldn't just walk up to a tribe acting like High Shit and try to snatch one of their women to breed superior half-breeds instantly. I'd make contact at first, whether I find them or they find me first, show my peaceful intentions, try to diffuse any initial hostilities, and try to slowly gain their trust and acceptance over time. I'd learn their language, work with the tribe, partake in their rituals, etc. I mean it's not like I'd have much other choice, if I didn't try this I'd have to rely on my own survival skills (of which I have none), and would probably perish within a week.

Plus I still want that qt at some point.

Yes because gaining their trust isn't going to take time which considering you admit you wouldent last a week alone.

Think you need to rethink that masterplan.
