Correct, but we went from Lawless, to Law imposed by the English, as
occupiers.  In our area of Scotland, at any rate, the Scottish Law
you mention was only for deals within the Scottish Noble classes
(we didn't have any merchants, as far as my grandfather was able
to research).  But the Lairds ruled their clansmen as absolute
despots in our area of the world.  Reading about it makes me think
that my ancestors resembled a motorcycle gang of roving arsonists,
robbers, and rapists rather than the picturesque laddies in kilts ...
