This article has been slowly improving - here are a few stylistic suggestions. There is no need to put 'click to enlarge' on images, and thumbs do not need a px sizing per WP:PIC. The lead para needs attention per WP:LEAD and the reference styles do not conform to WP:MOS. There are a few places where the language is in need of attention e.g. 'Interesting Facts'. The demography section is very detailed - good work. Ben MacDui (Talk) 08:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Scotland To-do:

This article is just a lift from this web site [1] and breaches someones copyright. --Bill Reid | Talk 10:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right about it being copied Bill, but it may have come from this. Not sure which is the older. Anyway, I've removed the section on the Clavie. Well spotted! Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
The Well section was also taken from here:[2]. so I've removed it. --Bill Reid | Talk 10:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gregorian calendar

Seems to be a common misconception that Scotland adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1600. It didn't but did make 1 January 1600 its new years day. England held on to the 25 March for its new years day until 1753. Wonder why James VI didn't get this changed when he went down South? --Bill Reid | Talk 14:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Highland railway

I would be grateful if someone could add information about the old Hopeman branch railway line and stations. I found some information here, but as I do not much about the subject I thought it would be better for someone else to add the information to the article, preferably with a map. --Darryl.matheson | Talk 22:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
