The relationship between the Kelsos and royalty of Scotland and England can be seen clearly by considering the progeny of three Scottish noblemen who were prominent in the last half of the thirteenth century.
Scotland was placed under military occupation and the Tone of scone was removed to Westminster Abbey where it remains today under the British throne.

Because the total rateable value of subjects in Scotland will increase, and the bill is based on rateable value multiplied by the poundage figure, the poundage will need to decrease to achieve the aim of maintaining the total income in real terms.
This is based on a revaluation factor of 13 per cent for locally valued subjects (excluding telecom); assumed no change for telecom and 7 per cent for prescribed industries.
If, instead of 12 per cent the revaluation factor had been 5 per cent or 25 per cent then the poundage figure would have been 48.8 pence or 41.0 pence respectively (this is for illustrative purposes only and keeps the assumption that appeals would be 3.6 per cent).

Scotland has had an abundance of both timber and stone building materials, so this is not likely to have been a key factor.
