Enjoyable quiz. In addition to the Australian question, you could also ask which major Malawian city takes it's name from a town in Scotland? Or which major Zambian city takes its name from a famous Scottish explorer (born in the above town)?

'Scots' is far too broad an answer for the last question, there are various types of Scots. I tried 'Lowland Scots' which you didn't accept (called 'lallands,' or 'lallans'). 'Scots' is an adjective that means much more than a dialect. Misleading.

I disagree personally. I think it's quite obviously scots and think most Scottish people would agree.

I personally have never heard anyone call it any other term

I couldn't think what they wanted for the last answer, so based on the three examples, answered Geordie!

If you're ever seeking to add a question, you could ask for the name of Scotland in Gaelic (Alba)!

The answers for the largest lakes gives away Loch. Maybe just have the answers say "Lomond" and "Ness"
