[Magdalen] Whither Scotland?

[Jay Weigel]

You really shouldn't be surprised at that, Val. Between the English booting

economic situation in much of Scotland, it only made sense for a lot of
Scots, particularly younger sons, to head for the colonies ASAP. There were
opportunities, and land, and money to be made! ;->
