Most Scots partisans use the Lion Rampant to make certain that there is no misunderstanding. And Glasgow and Edinburgh, as Lowland towns, are of course merely parts of those Northern English provinces won by the Highlands in the Middle Ages. Go to Perth or Inverness or the like to see what the real Scots believe! Slainte!
