We are missing at least three letters: thorn, edh and yogh, all of which were present in Old English script.
While we might think of it as a t with a curly tail or a g with a flat hat, the Scots looked at surviving yoghs and saw them as being a variant form of z.
Hence the curious spellings of the name Menzies and the bird known as the capercailzie, in neither of which is the z pronounced.

The letter yogh (; Middle English:) was used in Middle English and Middle Scots, representing y () and various velar phonemes.
It was the Normans whose scribes despised non-Latin characters and certain spellings in English and therefore replaced the yogh with the gh">digraph gh; still, the variety of pronunciations elaborated, as evidenced by cough, trough, and though.

The process of replacing the yogh with gh was slow, and was not fully completed until the end of the fifteenth century.
Because the shape of the yogh was identical to some forms of the handwritten letter z, the z replaced the yogh in many Scottish words when the printing press was introduced.

 The Sunday Mail - NEWS - YOGH GOT TO BE KIDDING
The z represents the old yogh and the pronunciation, regardless of spelling, was normally Dee-ell.
The z, as in Dalziel and Menzies, is not a true z but again the old Scots letter yogh, which is substituted by a z in type.
Linguist Dr Dominic Watt, of Aberdeen University, said: "Yogh was pronounced as a very soft 'ch', as in loch, and was written like the old copperplate-style 'z' with a tail.

 BBC NEWS | Magazine | Why is Menzies pronounced Mingis?
The rise of printing in the 16th Century coincided with the decline of the yogh, and so it tended to be rendered in print as a "z", and pronounced as such.
The yogh takes a softer "y" sound in the word capercaillie, the name of a large grouse, which the Oxford English Dictionary spells "capercailye" or "capercailzie".
The yogh owes its origin to the Irish scribes who arrived in Saxon Britain in the 8th Century and began teaching the Anglo Saxons to write - before this, old English was written in runes, says Ms Robinson.

La lettre yogh ne sert en fait que très peu aux linguistes : ceux-ci préféreront en effet utiliser un symbole moins ambigu, comme j ou χ (consulter Transcription des langues germaniques), etc. En revanche, c'est en philologie, dans la translittération des manuscrits, qu'il trouve tout son sens.

The yogh owes its origin to the Irish scribes who arrived in Saxon Britain in the 8th century.

 On the derivation of YOGH and EZH
Whereas Middle English makes use of a {yogh} grapheme (phonemic status is irrelevant to this discussion), written with the RTG, and not the FTG.
The pronounciation of the "zh" sound in the first is written with a different character than the "g" in the other three was written in former times.
I suspect that the RTG may be established in the typography of canonical editions of Middle English sources, and certainly may have been derived from medieval preferences for the written form of the letter.

You'd be amazed at how hard it is to find information about the yogh.
And there are even Mac OS X fonts that support yogh as part of the Unicode character set (I particularly like Junicode).
The problem is that the only word processor (versus text editor) for Mac OS X that supports the complete Unicode character set, and by "supports" I mean I can use Insert from the Character Palette, or hex encode the character, is Nisus Writer Express.
