Coincidence or design?

One French league = 3 miles

from Old French “ligue”

And what are the French doing in Scotland anyway?

For some reason, France and Scotland have long been allies.

The French King even used to be protected by the “Scottish Guard” a 100 man force of Scots. I have no idea how that came about either.
