(in Inglis) Thank you very much for your edits to Greater Glesga.
There are a couple of things that I cannot help but notice.
1) You are in Beijing. Are you an expat Scot?
2) You changed precisely one occurrence of each of 'are', 'for', and 'in'. Would you have changed all occurrences if you had had the means to do so? Which dialect of Scots do you speak?
3) Yorpan Unes. Is that a widely recognized and established spelling?

Many of the contributors to Scots Wikipedia are North Americans who are working in good faith, but not necessarily idiomatically. Hence my enquiry.
