You are, of course, referring to a German individual whose only connection to Scotland was by buying up land there and who created a pseudo german schloss at Balmoral, complete with turrets just like back home. Unfortunately Scotland has undergone many such pastiches over many years at the hands of many from outwith Scotland eager to create an imagined Shangri La populated by compliant vassals to cater to their every whim. It is reported that Albert’s descendants continued to converse among themselves in German until fairly recently although they did change their family name after World War I due to negative feedback at the time. So all in all perhaps not the best of examples when discussing things Scottish.
