    I see, according to the BBC, that the Isle of Man is now part of Scotland. According to the ticker tape feed on the BBC news, this morning, "The new cities in Scotland are Douglas, in the Isle of Man and Dunfermline".
    I'd like to welcome them to the fold.

      Haha Jocko, I wonder who made that mistake. :) The Isle of Man is part of the British Isles and not part of Scotland. Owned by the crown and overseen by a 'Governor' it is an independent island. Although Peel is the original city, the new city is Douglas and has always been known as the capital. I lived there for 24 years before moving here 6 years ago.
