Scotland must have the worst selection of archers possible, but it isn't a problem early on because the English will have superior archers anyway. They also do not have hand gunners... a must for any faction.

The Scots are also lacking in Cavalry, but the border horse is one of the best light cavalry in the game... I survived a charge at a spearwall with them! They get the standard cavalry of other catholic factions.

Scotland is very much an infantry focused faction. All of their unique units are on foot, and most are melee infantry. Most of their Infantry uses swords or axes, but they also have a number of useful Pike units, including the very strong Noble Pikemen, who are also available in Cities as well as Castles. Their swordsmen are also very good; particularly the Noble Swordsmen. Their early cavalry is mostly the standard Western European cavalry, but stops advancing after Feudal Knights. Fortunately, though, like all other Catholics in the base game they are able to recruit unique Crusader Order Cavalry from guilds. Their archers are mediocre and short ranged, but alright in a melee. They have no access to Gunners but do have a decent artillery selection. Overall, Scotland has a rather basic roster, but it does have some strong troops and good early game units, especially infantry.
