This one is Scottish. Looks like Strathearn to me but I could be wrong. There are others on this board who will be able to be more specific.

As with some others, it's either late Vasart or early Strathearn.

See my web page articles (http://www.btinternet.com/~kevh.glass/) - or better still Richard More's (http://strathearn.smugmug.com/) - for more examples.
