	Scottish Background
		English - actively adopted by the Scots for formal speaking and writing, first by their choice of an English translation of the Bible after the Reformation, and then by their efforts to exploit the Union with England in the eighteenth century.
		Not only were they opposed to Scottish devolution, they also acquired a reputation for favouring English interests and ignoring Scotland, with the result that the Tories rapidly lost support in Scotland, until in the British General Election of 1997 not one Conservative was elected as an MP for a Scottish constituency.
		Early claims that Scottish politics would be new and different, avoiding party squabbling, have not always been fulfilled, and the parliament is dogged by the scandal of the huge cost of its new building in Edinburgh, not likely to be ready to use for many years yet.

	Scottish English Pronunciation: Notes
		It is a feature of Scottish English that we don't have as many vowel sounds as speakers with English accents.
		Also, for Scottish speakers, 'bird' and 'heard' are not homophones [the same sound], although they are for speakers with an English accent.
		For words ending in /r/, you write the sequence of sounds as a triphthong, which is accurate for English English, but in Scottish, of course, we didn't lose the /r/ at the end of words so 'fewer' is /fjur/ etc. [Tim: I think the same goes for Irish English].
