Scotland isn't very Catholic at all. Presbyterian, Anglican, Methodist. I think England is more Catholic nowadays, but I may well be wrong.

No, it's more like 16 percent Catholic. The Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) is the biggest denomination there. See:

Before the Reformation (a.k.a. "splitting and wrecking") Scotland was a Catholic country. Now --- like Quebec --- it's full of beautiful old churches which have been converted into restaurants, loft apartments, hip-hop studios, and the occasional mosque.
