[edit] Scots teitles
The'r some controversy ower Elizabeths teitles an modes o address in Scotland:
- Some argue that as Scotland ne'er haed a Queen Elizabeth I, she shuid be kent as Elizabeth I in Scotland; some fowk haudin this belief haes e'en defaced or malafoustert postboxes wi the ineitials "E.R.II". Houaniver, the nummerin o monarchs is a maitter o the ryal prerogative, an it haes been decreed that aa monarchs wi the same name as aither a Scots or English monarch sall tak the heichest nummer — in this case, Elizabeth II.
- It wis tradeitional tae cry Scots monarchs Keing or Queen o Scots, nae o Scotland.
- It wis tradeitional forbye tae address Scots monarchs as "Your Grace" raither nor "Your Maijesty".
