Schools

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

'Affleck' (pronounced ah-fleck), is the Scots language name for the town. It is still in common use locally. VanguardScot 18:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
