This article iswritten inScottish English, which uses the same spelling asBritish English (colour,travelled,centre,defence,artefact,analyse), and some terms may be different or absent from othervarieties of English. According to therelevant style guide, this should not be changed withoutbroad consensus.

A problem here is the English language. Historically the name 'Scotland' has been used in English for two distinct kingdoms. Firstly for the ancient gaelic kingdom of Alba and secondly for the later kingdom comprising the whole of modern Scotland. Confusing one with the other is a bit like conflating the kingdom of England with the kingdom of Wessex. The wikipage on Alba says it persisted until 1286 - so that arguably the 'kingdom of Scotland' in modern usage didn't exist until 1287. Arguably too there were no 'kings of the Scots' (except in the English language) until then - they had previously all been Rìgh na h-Alba or King of the Albanach. Translating the name of today's Scotland into the gaelic name Alba is equally confusingly modern usage.— Precedingunsigned comment added by78.150.38.110 (talk)15:10, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to their respective articles, Donald III didn't have any sons, and Malcolm III's sons were David I, Edgar and Alexander I. But this tree wrongly shows all three as Donald's sons.Richard75 (talk)18:04, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• You're right. I've removed/hidden the family tree image until its creator,User:Go-Chlodio, can fix it. —GoldRingChip21:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
