Oooooohhhh... me likey.

I have Scots-Irish heritage (Ulsterscots) and as you can see, love both places. I started to make one of these once, but i couldn't find a decent base map.

i am very proud of my scottish background myself (my ancestery can be traced to Robert the Bruce) and would love to see a scottish map. This one looks good but it will have to have major work done on it.

How are you going to work in the islands? are they going to be their own territory, part of another, what?

Make the Kintyre peninsula worth a lot- it's where Big Fergie founded the Scottish nation.

the mull of kintyre the song that wings sang. campbell town is near the tip of it and my cousins use to live there and paul mcartney use to live there to.it`s the west coast the long bit going downwards that looks a bit like a knob.it`s the further most south in the green bit.

on averidge youre from the isle of man

a good idea, have you got any further with it? some of the smaller regions might be hard to use even when the map is made larger and also the continents should be closer to the actual reagons

oh and For dummies i can trace my acestry back to robert the bruce as well

one side of my familly owned almost 1/4 of scotland...and the other half had five generations as the bodyguards of the scottish royal family...then went mercenary for a bit...then after awhile one of my fore fathers, lord armstrong of newcastle, swapped sides in the first english civil war, from royalist to roundhead, very profitable.

anyway... balsiefen i like your map but some of the southern regions are a bit too small.

lothian is too small and i think it should be merged with some of the borders and some of strathclyde

because of the size of the highlands and islands continent i would suggest breaking it up into 2 continents. highlands, and islands as 2 different continents
