Scotland has a very good Infantry force. 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 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.
