I'm guessing this is to do with the referendum? Nice Tank wagons anyways.

Hi Ian,
I think our Scottish friends will take you to task over the title of this topic
Scotch is a drink, fermented somewhere up North

The name is intentional.
The Scotch goods was a fast fitted freight between Kings Cross goods and Niddrie.
The name could be a referance to the load southbound but more likely it was just English ignorance.
