With a Psychlo mining camp located in the southwest of England, the Scots keep far away from it. They only venture out to areas where there is food, such as the fishing village in Loch Shin, and then retire further into the Highlands to escape any potential Psychlo attacks.

Although hunted, the Scots have managed to maintain a high level of literacy among their people—including many members who are able to read and write and have a strong knowledge of history—if mainly their own myths and legends.
