preferring Ells.
The rot set in when the Scot parliament, packed with bribed folk voted

deposed our rightful monarch (James VII), and supported Anschluss with
England; something that is
illegal under Scots law. We lost our:
money: merks and pounds Scots; for the mathematically minded 3 Merks = 2

Runtime 'Counter Revolutionary'

doesn't match. :)
