Yes that is how we all talk over here in Scotland.

I've noticed an "error" of sorts in the distribution of cultures. I Scotland, the two lowland areas (not Highlands nor the Grampians) should have the culture of anglo-saxon, not gaelic. The lowland Scots spoke an English language called Scots, not the Gaelic language that was predominant on the highlands.

This isn't a very important bug, but Scotland ought to have both gaelic and anglo-saxon as culture from the beginning.

Anyone got remarks on my findings?

Historically your argument is quite correct. For example after the CIvil War the Duke of Montrose was hung drawn and quatered and his body left to rot on the gate of Edinburgh Castle till the restoration. His crime was the highest in the Scots book, he lead an Army of Gaels for the King against Duke of Leven's Scottish Army of the Covenant. However the way it is now does simulate the twin reality of England finding it difficult to conquer and hold Scotland and the joy the poeple of Fngland would felt at the thought of liberation by the just and good Scottish King. So it does have its place.

This will not look good on your clan membership application.

I mean - in the past - have the Scots ever been invaded? I recall Scotland sending some spies southward to diplo-annex the English persons. This is just a fault of Paradox - since they have made Scotland FAR to easy to invade without the combined power of four continents and six "comet events" for the Scottish player!

Ok I'll let you off, but don't let it happen again.

How's my aplication going... I have been thinking of getting one of those rabbitskin bags, the hairy ones...

It's being processed, we get rather a lot of them you see, they normally take years. However I know a few people and it's been bumped up the queue. Shoudln't be took long now. As for the bag, good idea. Having no pockets can cause problems at times.
