 Scotland is Alba - Tooslow
I'm probably a bit slow on the uptake but I've just noticed on the BBC news site that Scotland has "Alba" against it, just as Wales has "Cymru". So Alba is Scottish (Gaelic?) for Scotland?

That's a new one on me. Has this been around since time immemorial or is it a bit of new pc?

I'm waiting for the comparison with a cheap record player now!
