Schools
Are they really public schools or should that say state schools?--188.220.225.23 (talk) 21:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * State schools are referred to as "public schools" in Scotland. "Public school" in the sense of private school is English usage.--MacRùsgail (talk) 13:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Affleck
It's my understanding that Affleck is a posh aff(l)ectation, not a traditional usage.--MacRùsgail (talk) 13:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * 'Affleck' (pronounced ah-fleck), is the Scots language name for the town. It is still in common use locally. Even if it wasn't still in use locally it would still be relevant as a historical local language name. Vanguard  Scot  18:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
