Oh, sure. But Scots is the most marginal case of the lot, I think,

I agree that it is debatable whether some of the marginal wikipedias
have much value, although in the case of Scots it is perhaps because
it is generally quite understandable to most English speakers that
makes the Scots Wikipedia seem less useful than say Welsh or Irish
Wikipedias.

encouragement to other language wikis with UK connections if needed.

considered to come under the purview of Wikimedia UK:
