There are more historical reasons for it to be out than in - culturally probably more Norwegian than Scottish - and unless you are prepared to hold onto it by force there is a very strong case for them to go their own way

Now all the Scots here, once we become wealthy and annexe England, should we make the English our butlers or what?
