Scotland has a very good Military. If you train castle units you get barbarian-like highlanders to do your bidding, with feudal knights and dismounted knights too. If you recruit from a town/city, you can recruit a lot of different spearmen types. Scotland has relatively good early and middle period units, but their late period technology is lacking.
