There was a good selection of men from all over the country and quite a few from other countries. It should be remembered that Scotland has only a fraction of the population of England so of course there will be many more from south of Border. There again it brings up the question just what is Scot or an English man as the two are so inter married that if the family tree is given a good shake all sorts will fall out including mine.
